Libec TH-X2: A New Generation of the Popular TH-X Video Tripod
Libec has announced the TH-X2, the successor to its long-selling TH-X video tripod, with a release scheduled for November 2026. The TH-X2 retains the familiar height range and operating feel of the original TH-X while adding several practical upgrades for modern shooting environments.
For UAE videographers, broadcasters, and content creators who already rely on Libec camera support, here is a full breakdown of what's new, the complete spec sheet, and who this tripod system is designed for.
Key Upgrades on the TH-X2
Removable Multi-Angle Carrying Handle
The TH-X2 ships with a newly integrated carrying handle as standard equipment. It can be positioned at 90-degree intervals to suit the user's preferred shooting or carrying style, and it can be removed entirely when it isn't required.
Dual Accessory Mounting Points
The tripod base includes two accessory mounting positions supporting both 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch screws. This allows operators to mount monitors, lights, and other equipment directly to the tripod system. It pairs well with Systec's range of monitors and on-camera lighting.
DualHead Design
The TH-X2 incorporates Libec's DualHead structure, allowing the head to be used with both 65mm bowl tripods and flat-base equipment. This provides additional flexibility for use with sliders, skater dollies, monopods, and photographic tripods.
Snap ON/OFF Sliding Plate
The camera plate attaches and detaches from the side, allowing quick camera setup and removal during production. The plate is compatible with Manfrotto and Sachtler-type systems and offers a sliding range of approximately ±30mm.
Built for Outdoor and Fast-Paced Production
A dedicated weight hook improves stability when shooting outdoors or in windy conditions. The tripod legs feature a structure designed to reduce the chance of fingers being caught when lowering, which is useful during fast-paced setups. Integrated foot rubber, a transport lock, and a carrying case with a shoulder strap complete the package.
Compact and Lightweight Design
The TH-X2 maintains the compact design concept of the original TH-X, with a system weight of approximately 3.2 kg and a packed length of approximately 78.5 cm. With a maximum payload of 4 kg, it is designed for compact professional video cameras, camcorders, and DSLR/mirrorless camera setups.

Who the TH-X2 Is Designed For
With a 4kg payload, the TH-X2 is sized for compact professional camcorders and DSLR/mirrorless setups rather than full-size broadcast bodies. It is suited to corporate video production, live events, documentaries, education, weddings, and other mobile production environments where the additional accessory mounting points and removable carrying handle add flexibility without increasing size or weight.
Production teams working with heavier cinema cameras or studio setups may be better suited to Libec's larger systems, such as the GS-850 or GS-750 series with ground and mid-level spreaders, which support significantly higher payloads.
