Conceived by Mark Irwin ASC/CSC, 3iSpreader is a safer, smoother, better-balanced, durable solution for Ronford-Baker and OConnor tripods. The patented 3i system solves three common, annoying and potentially dangerous problems. First, it eliminates scratching and wobbling - common side effects of old-fashioned aluminum spreaders that rest on the floor. Secondly, it removes the need for old-fashioned bungee cords which are unstable, sloppy and prone to stretching and detaching. Finally, it raises the spreader off the floor, eliminating the chore of building up floors and other surfaces to keep the previous camera system level.
The 3iSpreader comes complete with one (1) EA 3iSpreader, and three (3) EA 3iSpuds.
CHARACTERISTICS
Machined metal 3iSpuds with rubber caps securely bolt over the tripod's spikes
Securely connects to tripod feet with three quick-release pins
Segments adjust from closed length to open length in increments of 2.5"/6.5cm
Center pivot bracket puck design with recessed T-Handle in center to fold quickly
Spreader can travel within the sticks and does not need to be removed for storage

This is a great set at a great price. The ball head is strong and doesn't slip from vibration. I have tested it in combination with the suction mount on my car window and it work very well. The baby pin mount is great for use on c-stands and clamps, etc.

The perfect 90° mafer pin
Hefty and wonderful. Seats into the mafer in a positive and secure way sits straight up and down when clamped to a stand. And the perfect length for my needs. Thanks!

Compact with a Secure Grip
Purchased a 5lb Boa Bag for two primary solutions that ended up being better than a regular 5lb sandbag. First was to use on the hook of a mini boom. Second, used with a carabiner to provide weight under my tripod.
Also really like the wrap-around feature if needed on the ends of grip arms that lack a hook.
The very compact form makes it easy to use in tight spaces.

Worth the price premium
If you’re like me, you are getting sick of the continually diminishing quality standards offered by most consumer or even professional goods. It seems like everything is built to be disposable, and things are by design impossible to service. I love the fact that the Matthews reverie stands buck this trend by being not only serviceable, but much better quality in the first place. This is my second Matthews reverse stand, and the quality is evident in the operation of the stand, and the capacity of the stand relative to its size.
