3 Legged Thing Charles 2.0 Darkness Magnesium Alloy Tripod

Made from aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, the 3 Legged Thing - Pro 2.0 Charles Tripod - Legs Only - Darkness boasts an impressive 18:1 load to weight ratio thanks to its 40kg / 88lb load capacity. It can extend to a maximum height of 1.85m / 72.8". Thanks to its removable / reversible centre column, users can shoot from above, or right down at ground level with the column removed. Its 3 detachable legs enable conversion to monopod, booms or tabletop tripod with the addition of our Vanz tripod feet (an excellent upsell).
