Eight layers of the most formidable Carbon Fiber design clad the vibration absorbing legs better than most aluminum-based concepts. Carbon fiber is more than lightweight. It is a heavyweight champ, ready to fight off contenders for the throne of image stability. Above all, a matched head holds sway for its firm grip, unwavering position, and smooth dexterity.
The A-Team of Travel
The TREK Series Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with Ball Head from 3POD is a multipurpose, compact camera support system forged with industrial-strength carbon fiber and finish. CF technology makes it lighter, more rigid, portable, and durable than traditional aluminum constructions. Suitable for payloads up to a hefty 26 lbs, this tripod is a true space-saver without sacrificing strength or stability. It collapses magically into a diminutive, 16.5-inch package, perfect for stacking with other equipment or tucking neatly into a suitcase for travel. True to its name, the TREK Series Carbon Fiber Tripod even transforms into a lightweight monopod solution.
For the photographer on the prowl, in you
The twist-lock telescopic legs cluster close-fitting about the center column for an amazingly compact traveling height of less than 17". The entire unit weighing-in at an ultralight 2.8 pounds; there's nothing to stop you from carrying it with you anywhere you go or slip it in your backpack. The center column can be extended to give the system a total height of 61.5" without sacrificing stability. The twist locks are fortified with a cutting-edge, wear-resistant internal structure, making them immune to dust, moisture, changes in temperature, and the gradual loosening over time that can occur in inferior locking mechanisms.
A convenient retractable weight hook provides an additional counterbalance to hang accessories. Transverse terrain, scale the heights, or explore the caverns with this capable, extraordinary lightweight 8X Carbon Fiber with fashionable accents and a superior wear-resistant finish.
Follow the Leader The removable 2-tiered center column allows this versatile configuration, taking advantage of the columns added height for high-angle shots. Textured rubber pads at the base of each leg grip for a slip-free hold on smooth surfaces. The legs lock in place with a 1/2 twist, with unique metal jacketed clamps that won't rust, loosen, or wear out over time and boasts advanced protection against the destructive forces of heat, cold, dust, and moisture.
This is a full-featured tripod capable of tackling all the challenges of the trail and leads the way. Each leg angle is individually adjustable and fixed, as you would expect in superior designed tripods, allowing for compensation to uneven surfaces, even ledges, and stairs, in angular placement with 3 position settings for the perfect stance. The asymmetrical arrangement of the legs serves to create an offset to the center of gravity and more flexible positioning in the wild.
3POD AB1 AB Series Aluminum Ball Head
The included AB1 aluminum ball head combines hardy processing with high-quality hydraulic dampening for 360° of fluid movement. Don't be fooled by its compact appearance; this tough ballhead can hold cameras up to 8.8 lbs. The smooth movement of the ball itself is controlled with directional adjustment knobs, and the panning base rotates 360°, perfect for panoramic splicing. Use the precision drag for sweeping panoramic versatility to create jaw-dropping vistas.
The quick-release Arca Swiss plate features a universal mounting screw for cameras of all sizes and locks your equipment securely to the ballhead, protecting it from accidental dropping. There is nothing like the Arca design for compatibility and secure compactness.
