A trio of new tripods from Tilta, include the VT05 carbon fiber travel tripod and two variants of the BT03 table top tripod.

We’ll start with the [VTO5](https://tilta.com/shop/tilta-travel-video-fluid-head-with-3-stage-carbon-fiber-tripod-legs-5kg/), which rejoices in the full name of the VT05 Travel Video Fluid Head Tripod with 3-Stage Carbon Fiber Legs. It’s built from high-strength, 10-layer diamond cross-woven carbon fiber, which ensures robust stability while remaining exceptionally lightweight. Those legs easily transition between rubber feet and metal spikes with a simple twist.

It features multiple mounting points for seamless integration of additional accessories like smartphone clamps, iPad holders, or articulating arms via multiple 1/4″-20 threads with locating points.A precision-engineered fluid head supports up to 11 lbs / 5 kg, delivering smooth, precise movements. The ARCA Receiver and included Quick Release Plate means the Fluid Head is compatible with most camera systems or cages.

Innovative features such as a semi-automatic angle adjustment system and a detachable carbon fiber column allow for quick setup and customizable shooting angles. With a height range of just under 10 inches (230 mm) up to a maximum height of 5.91 ft (1600 mm) these legs offer extreme flexibility. The price is agreeable too, coming in at a nicely lightweight $299.

The[ BT03 Tabletop Ball Head with 1-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs](https://tilta.com/shop/tabletop-ball-head-with-1-stage-carbon-fiber-tripod-legs/) costs $99 and comes equipped with a robust ball head that supports up to 6.6 lbs / 3 kg and includes a slot for 90° vertical shooting, allowing for seamless transitions between horizontal, vertical, and overhead configurations. Again, an Arca quick release plate mounts securely to most cameras and camera cages via a 1/4″-20 screw. Tilta points out that many of its camera cages (and it makes a lot of them) are natively compatible.

A center column-free design makes it useful in tight spaces and low-angle shots; three adjustable leg angles enable various creative perspectives.

It’s made from the same multi-layered diamond cross-woven carbon fiber as the VT05, making it both durable,  lightweight, and ideal for an everyday carry.

Its two-section legs extend up to 13.7″ and the twist-lock mechanism facilitates quick and precise height adjustments. This can be paired with an optional extension rod for added height (which is essentially the third variant mentioned, the $109 [BT03E](https://tilta.com/shop/tilta-tabletop-ball-head-with-1-stage-carbon-fiber-tripod-legs-3kg-extendable-edition/)).

Additionally, the handle telescopes to various lengths for added comfort, while the legs feature 1/4″-20 mounting points with locating pins, allowing users to mount various accessories.

The BT03 weighs 09.4 lbs / 428 g, or 1.07 lbs / 485 g with the extension rod. Max height is 21.9 inches (555 mm) with the extension rod, while the minimum is 10.83 inches (275 mm).

All three have 10% off until August 23 and shipping time is currently about two weeks.
