Libec Announces New NX Series
Libec is proud to announce the new NX Series, a Japan crafted high-performance lightweight video camera tripod system. As demand for lightweight multifunctional tripods increases, the NX Series is a best-cost solution to consider.
NX challenges the conventional idea that "a lightweight tripod is risky and has low functionalities". Although lightweight, the NX Series received the GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2020 for its modern concept design and for its spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.
As the world's lightest video camera tripod system, the NX provides high value in manifold shooting scenes and supports various cameras with a wide range of counterbalance without compromises on performance, quality or appearance.

Written by Richard D. Pepperman
Is there an auto key included with all digital editing programs (it is evidently pressed without release or relief) which robotically cross-cuts in abundance?
