SmallRig x Potato Jet Tribex Hydraulic Carbon Fiber Tripod – First Look

At NAB 2024, SmallRig and Potato Jet (YouTuber Gene Nagata) have been showcasing Tribex, a fast-setup hydraulic tripod built to support filmmaking gear in the field. Its carbon fiber legs are extendable via a single clutch - the X-Clutch. With a single press-and-hold action one may quickly adjust all three legs, and even level the base while doing so. Though not extremely compact, the Tribex is very agile and can quickly be set to any location or height.

Congrats potato on the making the best tripod ever

[konstantinnutsov]

You can hear in his voice how excited he is. Tank you Potato for this great product!

[JaimeAndresMedia]

I really enjoy Potato Jet's energy candid videos, this product looks amazing, I have too mani tripods, but f'kit, I'll get another one!!

[zackketz]

This will definitely be a product that will elevate SmallRig's name recognition.

[Citizen_one]

Gene - thank you. Not only do you make solid videos but this is something so needed; especially for run and gun docs. Will definitely be purchasing.

Brilliant tripod. What I’d love, is for the legs to click into an angle and stay there without having to use a spreader. Most tripods note only sets a limit to how far it spreads out with the individual legs, but can easily drop inward once you start moving them, which often is a pain when you just need to make a small adjustment, or move it from one spot to another.

[Soundwave]

Interesting! I wanna know how its done and how sturdy the mechanism is

[kidcoma]

The most important part is that the legs should easily slide out even after years of use… for some reason smallrig isn’t a company I trust with such details.

[kevindiossi]

I absolutely promise SmallRig I will be buying this immediately. I’ve been hunting a video tripod that can fit in a suitcase that’s also lightweight and easy to work with.

[alfredoZ]

They should just call it the SmallRig TriJet, makes more sense and eliminates that giant Potato Jet branding on the side

[jorgenudvang]

That's a total no-brainer. Just take my money.

[tiemji]

Nice product and nice youtuber. It's nice to see potato jet coming with this news product which looks amazing

[ElMacho]

Wow a product that I actually look forward upgrading to!

[bwoodsjr]

I’m definitely buying this. Huge W PotatoJet!

[dylannolan]

Damn I just bought the smallrig carbon fiber fluid head (it’s great, I also shoot on a $2000 carbon fiber set of flow tech sticks and it does almost as well for a quarter of the price) but I would have bought this if it was on the market at the time. And potato jet is a good dude. I’m sure this will be a hit.

[RCodyWanner]

heads up your descrip says NAB 2023 if you want to switch it! i cannot tell you how hyped I am about this tripod, i have been dreaming of it for literally 10 years, when we first started weddings.

[Eyeofkamau]

Now this is innovative. Please be under $1, 000 lol

[armacanqui]

2:15 “it’s a lot of screwing… pulling out… takes you ages”

“Balancing the head…”

We still talking about tripods here? 🥴

J/k this looks amazing. I’m seriously going to consider this. I love the clutch mechanism and not having to extend each let individually!

[benhnamte]

This product is actually new in this NAB. Others are basically just upgrades but this one is 👌
