3iSpreader

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.
