3 Legged Thing Legends Ray Carbon Fibre Tripod with AirHed Vu Ball Head Set - Grey

The compact and versatile Legends Ray Carbon Fiber Tripod Leg Set from 3 Legged Thing is a carbon fiber travel tripod that is both highly portable yet offers the height range of a typical tripod. Unlike other convertible tripods, the Ray features not just one, but three detachable legs, which can be used as monopods or boom arms. With all three legs removed, it can also be used as a table-top tripod by adding a set of 3LT's tripod footwear, available separately. Ray is constructed from eight layers of carbon fiber and has 3LT's new design of leg and column locks. and features bronze, aerospace-grade magnesium alloy components. The twist locks have been engineered with a new design of Chicken Lips (shims), which give them greater strength and grip, and they feature new rubber O-pads for improved grip and leverage. The durable anodized metal leg latches feature an auto-engage lock and is used to open and position Ray's legs and to release them for reverse folding. The three-section center column is removable and reversible and is topped with the patented, contoured Tri-Mount plate for easier use. Additionally, the plate features hollowed spurs for clip-on devices.
