At IBC 2026, Libec showcased its new Q30B and Q50B tripods engineered for professional video and broadcast production. Key features of the new models include the fast Quick Deploy locking mechanism, an impressive payload capacity of up to 45 kg, and exceptional stability for heavy camera setups.
Quick Deploy — Faster Setup on Location
The Q30B and Q50B tripods incorporate the Quick Deploy locking system on the upper leg sections. This mechanism allows operators to adjust the tripod height rapidly, significantly reducing setup time on set.
The lower leg sections maintain the classic Screw Lock mechanism. This combination delivers the ideal balance between speed and ultra-reliable locking force. Both models feature a 2-stage aluminum construction capable of supporting up to 45 kg / 99 lbs.

What is the Main Difference Between Q30B and Q50B?
Choosing between the two models mainly comes down to the fluid head and camera system you plan to use.
The Q30B features a 75 mm bowl system, making it ideal for compact ENG, EFP, cinema, and professional video rigs. Weighing just 2.9 kg, it reliably supports setups up to 45 kg.
The Q50B utilizes a 100 mm bowl designed to accommodate larger professional broadcast fluid heads. This makes the Q50B particularly suitable for studio applications, OB/EFP trucks, and heavier camera configurations.
Both tripods feature 1/4" and 3/8" threaded mounting points for attaching monitors, wireless transmitters, recorders, and other shooting accessories.
Libec — Speed and Stability on Set
With the launch of the Q30B and Q50B, Libec addresses not only heavy load capacities but also the real-world workflow efficiency of camera operators. The Quick Deploy + Screw Lock combination allows swift repositioning without sacrificing rock-solid rigidity.
These advantages make the new tripods an excellent choice for broadcasting, ENG/EFP, studio production, live events, and high-end video production.
