FilmMaker™ 3018 Tripod, 162 cm
The CG-3018-162 is a versatile and lightweight tripod, ideal for photography and videography. It features an oil-hydraulic head, offering smooth panning and tilting with precise control. The wide height range from 47cm to 162cm makes it suitable for various shooting angles.
The CG-3018-162 (162cm tall) Film Maker is a great semi-professional photographic and video tripod, perfect for filming home celebrations as well as a travel companion on trips out of town. Thanks to its dual-function oil head, it also works well as a photographic tripod. Framing the shot is quick, and panning is smooth with pleasant resistance that professional heads would be proud of.
Oil photo-video head
The three-bearing oil head enclosed in a plastic housing operates with very pleasant resistance. It is equipped with a comfortable handle for framing during filming. The head can be set and locked into any position thanks to the panorama locks (horizontal lock) and tilt (vertical lock). The mounting foot allows tilting by 90°, so the camera can be positioned vertically (in portrait mode). The quick-release, covered with anti-slip material safely holds the equipment attached via a universal photographic 1/4 inch screw. The head can be removed from the tripod and mounted on other video equipment (sliders, cranes) using a 3/8 inch screw.
Lightweight, compact telescopic tripod with extendable shaft. It allows both vertical and horizontal framing for photography as well as filming. Excellent for lightweight DSLRs, compact cameras, video cameras. The special feature of this tripod is its very wide height range: from 47cm to 162 cm!
A solid, well-made budget tripod category that is perfect for occasional photo shoots at home or outdoors. Equipped with an aluminum tripod and a plastic head. A special feature of the tripod is its very wide adjustment range of the head - the shaft has an effective length of 38 cm, which is rarely found in this price range.
Tripod
The tripod base consists of an aluminum tripod with a central triangle for increased stiffness. The leg profile, similar to more expensive tripods, is a combination of a circle and a polygon which provides greater resistance to bending and thus guarantees greater durability. At the height of the handle each leg is covered with thermal foam so that the tripod can be used on winter days.
To estimate leveling, the top of the tripod is equipped with a spirit level. An additional handle allows you to securely transport the tripod between shots.
The leg sections are locked using plastic clamps. Each foot is mounted on a ball joint so that the feet easily adapt to the ground. The legs fold classically, telescopically (3 sections).
The shaft column ends with a hook which enables weighting and thus increases the stability of the tripod.

CineGEN® — studio equipment designed by practitioners
CineGEN® is a Polish studio equipment brand we created in 2011 in Janki near Warsaw. We don't have 35 years of tradition or offices on two continents — what we do have is around 40,000 orders with CineGEN® products fulfilled every year and 15 years of working with light, which taught us what actually works in a studio.
The brand was born for a simple reason: selling other people's equipment, we too often had to explain flaws we had no control over. We preferred taking responsibility to making excuses — so we started building our own.
How we work
Specifications and part of the designs are created in Poland; manufacturing takes place in China, under our supervision. We say this openly, because that's how studio equipment is made all over the world today. The difference lies in who sets the requirements and who answers for the result: every batch arrives at our warehouse in Janki, where we inspect it, and before a product enters our catalogue, we work with it ourselves — on packshots, portraits and video shoots.
Our product descriptions state real parameters and real limitations. A 200 PLN lamp won't replace a 2,000 PLN kit — and we won't pretend otherwise.
What you'll find under the CineGEN® brand
Continuous lighting (FlatLight™, Lumifi™, ReLed™, Ensö™ panels with CRI >95), Ignitix™ photographic bulbs, softboxes and light modifiers, lighting, photo and video stands and tripods (including the Jupiter™ series), and home studio kits.
What we stand behind
CineGEN® is a trademark protected at the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland (application Z.574925, rights held by Digishots Sp. z o.o.).
Warranty service and spare parts are handled at our facility in Janki — no shipping your gear "back to the manufacturer".
You can see the equipment in person at our location in Janki (ul. Poniatowskiego 17), and you'll find tests and tutorials on the digishots.pl blog and the CineGEN YouTube channel.
