The Sachtler SOOM, a multifunctional camera support system for Mini DV and HDV camcorders, offers four different configurations (TriPod, HiPod, MonoPod and TriSpread) to meet the needs of varying production environments.
In TriPod mode, the system’s 75mm bowl can be mated to a Sachtler FSB fluid head. TriPod features single-stage legs with a vertical height range of 27-56 inches. and an integrated TriSpread mid-level spreader that delivers stability, even on uneven ground. For more height, TriPod becomes HiPod via SOOM’s integrated center column, the SOOM Tube. TriPod is capable of telescoping vertically to just over 8 feet, which is ideal for shooting over obstacles or crowds.
In MonoPod configuration, the SOOM Tube removes from the tripod to function as a monopod with a height range of 34-62 inches. A fold-away foot bracket allows the operator to firmly secure the SOOM MonoPod base to the floor. For going low, the TriSpread mid-level spreader removes from the standard tripod to become a single-stage baby tripod with a height range of 8-19 inches.
