The SmallRig TRIBEX 35 PRO Tripod (Video Version) 6288 combines 35 mm carbon fibre legs with a dynamic-balance fluid head. The X-Clutch handle deploys and locks all three leg sections at once, so video shooters who move between setups can level and frame quickly with a camera package up to 8 kg on the head. Filmgear Canada takes pre-orders for this late-2026 launch.

FAQ

How fast does the X-Clutch system set up the tripod?

One handle releases all three leg sections together. SmallRig says the legs extend and lock automatically in about one second, so you do not unlock each section by hand.

How much camera weight can the video head carry?

SmallRig rates the fluid head at 8.0 kg, measured with the center column raised, legs at 22° and the head at 190 cm. The counterbalance adjusts from 0 to 8.0 kg in 6 steps, so match the step to your rig weight.

Which quick-release plate does the 6288 use?

The head uses a 501PL-type quick-release plate, so plates and cameras already set up for 501PL mounting move across without re-rigging.

Can I use it on rough ground outdoors?

Yes. One-touch leveling adapts the legs to uneven terrain, and the feet accept mushroom pads or spikes for grass, sand and mud. SmallRig advises avoiding sandy or dusty use where possible and drying the tripod after it gets wet.

Should I pick the Video, Photography or Basic version?

Choose the 6288 if you need smooth pans and tilts. The 6289 swaps in a 12 kg ball head with an Arca-Swiss plate for stills, and the 6290 is the legs only with a 65 mm flat base for a head you already own.

How It Compares

All three TRIBEX 35 PRO versions share the same X-Clutch carbon fibre legs rated to 25 kg. Choose the 6288 for video work with smooth pans and tilts.
