Secced Cinekit 4

The Secced Reach Plus 4 Kit replaces the discontinued Reach 9 and Reach 10 tripod systems. It is the strongest ø100 mm tripod system of Secced, a perfect high-end solution for professionals in EFP and field-based HD production environments or for studio application or even for stereoscopic shooting with light 3D Rig. The highly sophisticated operation of Reach Plus 4 extends its use to the commercial, drama, feature film making and high quality television production.
The payload of the Plus 4 tripod system is approx 28 kgs / 61.7 lbs and can be used with portable broadcast cameras and camcorders in heavy configuration or even for studio application with teleprompter or compact studio lens as well.

The system’s fluid head (V20/100RP) is mountable on the heavy-duty tripod with a 100 mm diameter integrated levelling ball. The tripod leg has an exceptional height at full extension and a high payload capacity, its structure is robust and very sturdy: all sections of the three legs have twin-tubes and have an extremely high torsional rigidityTorsional rigidity
The torsional rigidity is a measure of a body’s resistance to twist.
The high torsional rigidity is the most important characteristic of professional video tripods. It determinates how resistant the video tripod is to twisting mechanical influences during pan. The adequate torsional rigidity is essential at recording to achieve smooth camera movements.. The REACH 4 Plus kit contains a floor-spreader, the optional mid-spreader and rubber feet allow the use of the tripod kit on the most varied surfaces.

The V20/100RP head’s more refined 8-grade (0+7 steps) drag system makes even the most critical camera works possible for the camera man: ultra-smooth and extremely slow moves, diagonal or along an arc movements using both axes and precision motion tracking. Video20/100RP provides a steady, shake-free shot even when long lens is applied. The friction-free technology of the damping system is resistent to extreme temperature conditions.

The counterbalance system has 8 grades, but the head features a balance adjustment lever device designed to duplicate the available counterbalance steps. Its typical payload capacity ranges from 0 to 27.9 kgs / 0 to 61.5 lbs at 125 mm CoG height. The maximum payload refers to the whole tilt range. Camera balance and attachment to the fluid head is a sideload system, that ensures easy adjustment of the camera balance-pointBalance point
is the vertical projection of CoG of the horizontally levelled camera mounted on the tripod head.
When the sliding plate is adjusted correctly, the balance point of the fully loaded camera is positioned exactly vertically above the head’s tilt axis, so the camera is in balance, it does not tilt forwards or backwards. even under greater load. The balance plate sliding ranges up to 120 mm, the levelling bubble is self-illuminated.

The Secced VCT18 tripod adapter (sold separately) is recommended for Reach Plus4 tripod system, and the SC-Dolly100H heavy-duty dolly in studio application.
