From cinema5D, flowtech 75 earned the IBC2017 Innovation Award, one of only three products to do so. cinema5D judges said, Tripod technology hasnt seen a lot of real innovation in decades, [but flowtech 75] showed that there is still a lot of room for making a shooters life easier by enhancing the camera support. cinema5D capped off its award announcement with, Its as simple as it is brilliant when you work with it.
NewBay Medias publication, TVBEurope, awarded flowtech technology with its coveted Best of Show at IBC2017. Products were judged according to a wide range of criteria, including ease of use/maintenance, performance against the category standard, richness/relevance of the feature set, value/ROI, versatility, anticipated reliability, and originality.
In its third win of the show, flowtech technology was given the RedShark Award for best camera rig/accessory at IBC2017, a category that spanned from small on-camera accessories to tripods and cranes.
flowtech tripods have unique quick-release brakes and easy-adjust levers that enable camera operators to set up and begin using the tripod in an instant. flowtech 75 is compatible with all major 75-mm fluid heads and is ideally suited for fluid heads from the Sachtler or Vinten product families. The versatile tripod is an ideal companion for digital cinema cameras, such as the Sony PXW-FS7, Blackmagic URSA Mini, and the Canon Mark II.
