The Vinten 3367-3 is a professional-grade, heavy-duty flexible ground spreader designed to provide maximum stability and safety for broadcast and cinema tripods on challenging or uneven terrain. Unlike rigid spreaders, this flexible model features a unique three-arm construction connected by heavy-duty chain links, allowing each leg to find its own secure footing independently. This design is critical for outdoor shoots on slopes, stairs, rocky ground, or in crowded venues where a tripod's legs cannot be positioned at equal angles or heights. By securely anchoring each leg to a central hub via the chain, the spreader prevents dangerous leg splay under heavy camera loads, ensuring the entire support system remains rigid and secure.

Constructed for durability in harsh environments, the spreader's core components are made from high-strength aluminum or steel. The central hub is robust, and the three arms terminate in reinforced loops that attach securely to the tripod leg spikes or specific attachment points. The use of heavy chain links provides the necessary flexibility while maintaining immense tensile strength. This design allows the spreader to be used effectively on a wide variety of surfaces, from soft grass and mud to concrete and studio floors, simply by adjusting the chain links to take up slack and create a taut, stable configuration.

For camera crews working in documentary, news, sports, or feature film production, the Vinten Heavy Duty Flexible Ground Spreader is an essential safety accessory. It transforms a standard tripod into a far more stable platform, capable of supporting high-value camera packages with confidence in unpredictable field conditions. Its ability to conform to uneven ground without compromising stability makes it a vital tool for ensuring both equipment safety and shot consistency, allowing cinematographers to focus on their craft rather than worrying about their rig's foundation.
