Smallrig Video FreeBlazer Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber AD-100

Heavy-duty carbon fiber tripod for professional video setups

SmallRig Video FreeBlazer Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber AD-100 is a professional tripod system designed for documentary, commercial, interview, event and studio work. The carbon fiber legs provide a strong balance between rigidity and manageable transport weight, while the 75 mm bowl allows fast levelling of the fluid head without repeatedly adjusting individual leg lengths.

The complete kit weighs about 5 kg. SmallRig lists a working height of approximately 94–197 cm for the assembled AD-100 system, while the carbon fiber tripod itself covers roughly 79–182 cm. This gives operators useful flexibility for low seated interviews, standard eye-level framing and higher camera positions.

DH10 fluid head and adjustable damping

The included SmallRig DH10 video head provides 360° pan and a tilt range of approximately +90° to -60°. Horizontal damping is continuously adjustable, allowing the operator to tune resistance for faster reframing or slower, more controlled pans. A counterbalance system helps keep heavier camera builds stable during tilt movement.

SmallRig specifies a maximum payload of up to 10 kg for the DH10 head, while the complete AD-100 kit specification lists an 8 kg head load capacity. For demanding moving shots, keeping the camera build within the lower working figure provides additional operating margin.

Fast quick-release workflow

The head supports Manfrotto 501PL-compatible plates and can also work with selected DJI RS quick-release plates. This is useful when moving a camera between tripod and gimbal setups without completely rebuilding the rig.

The tripod uses carbon fiber legs, a center spreader and interchangeable feet for different surfaces. Its one-step leg locking system is designed to speed up height changes on location, making the setup practical for crews that move frequently between shots.

Our rental set includes the SmallRig FreeBlazer Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber Tripod, SmallRig Heavy-Duty Video Head DH10 and a carrying bag. The system works well with mirrorless cameras, compact cinema cameras and accessorized rigs that need stable support without the weight of a larger broadcast tripod.
