The Vinten model 3363-3 is a lightweight Ground Spreader that provides maximum stability to the tripod on flat ground, and includes the flexibility to cope with uneven terrain. Its hinged construction allows the spreader to fold with the tripod, and quick-release straps ensure that the spreader can easily be installed or removed if and when required.

The included Rounded Soft Case is designed to protect equipment during transport and provide a safe and easy way to carry the kit.
