Japanese tripod manufacturer Libec has refreshed its lightweight NX series with updated components, now featuring the NH20 fluid head paired with QL40C carbon fiber legs. The NX-200MQC mid-level spreader system maintains the series’ 4kg / 8.8lb payload capacity while incorporating design refinements for improved durability and usability. The system weighs 4.5kg / 9.9lb and operates across a height range of 79.5 to 167cm / 31.3 to 65.7 inches. Libec’s NX series has established itself as a lightweight solution for compact camera setups since its initial launch, with CineD covering the original NH10/NH30 configuration in 2021. The manufacturer has now evolved the lineup with the NH20 and NH40 heads, replacing the earlier models while maintaining the series’ core philosophy of mobility and quick setup for reduced crew scenarios. The Libec NX-200MQC offers an updated lightweight solution for compact camera operators requiring full fluid head functionality without the weight penalty of larger systems. It represents the entry-level configuration in this updated range, combining the NH20 head with two-stage carbon fiber QL40C tripod legs, BR-2B mid-level spreader, FP-1B rubber feet, and RC-30 carrying case. This system targets documentary shooters, event videographers, and content creators working with mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, and compact cinema cameras within the 4kg operating weight.
