Product Information

Full details

The SWIT TOWER100 is designed for professional videographers and studio operators who require stable, fluid camera movements for heavy rigs. It provides exceptional balance for payloads up to 10kg, making it ideal for cinema-grade cameras and lenses; however, users should note that at its maximum height, the tripod requires careful leveling on uneven surfaces to maintain optimal stability.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight the TOWER100 can handle?

The SWIT TOWER100 supports a maximum payload of 10kg.

Does the kit come with a carrying bag?

The kit includes the head and tripod legs; please refer to your specific retail packaging for bundled accessories like cases.

Can I use this tripod on uneven ground?

Yes, but you should adjust the individual leg lengths and use the integrated bubble level to ensure the head is perfectly level before shooting.

Is the TH100A head detachable?

The TH100A is designed as part of the TOWER100 system; check the base mounting thread if you intend to swap heads.

How do I ensure my camera is balanced?

Adjust the quick-release plate forward or backward until the camera remains stationary when the tilt lock is released.

Troubleshooting

Pan or tilt motion feels jerky

Ensure the fluid drag settings are properly engaged and the camera is balanced correctly on the plate.

Quick-release plate does not lock firmly

Check for debris in the mount and verify the safety pin is fully depressed during insertion.

Tripod feels unstable at max height

Check the ground level and ensure all leg segments are locked firmly at the same extended length.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 10kg payload supports heavy professional cinema rigs
  • Fluid damping provides cinematic, smooth camera motion
  • Adjustable height range covers most studio setup needs
  • Clear bubble level ensures accurate horizon alignment

Cons

  • Heavier weight profile may reduce portability for field work
  • Lacks a dedicated spreader system for ultra-fast deployment
  • Minimum height of 72cm may be too high for extreme low-angle shots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the TOWER100, extend the tripod legs to your desired height using the locking mechanisms, ensuring the feet are firmly planted. Mount the camera onto the quick-release plate, sliding it into the head until it clicks into the safety lock. Always ensure the bubble level indicates a centered position before tightening the pan/tilt locks. For maintenance, keep the fluid head clean by wiping it with a dry, lint-free cloth after shoots. Avoid exposing the internal damping mechanism to fine dust, sand, or water. Regularly check the leg locking levers to ensure they remain firm, and tighten them only if they show signs of loosening over time.
