Unique carbon structure

The revolutionary technology of the construction the tubes from carbon fiber provides the greater rigidity and strength of the tripod. Carbon eXact tubes are unique  compared to previous construction methods because their fibre compositions vary according to the pipe's diameter. In practice this means that pipes with a lower diameter use a fibre diameter of only 5mm. This makes it possible to use more fibers, which increases the strength of the tube.

G-Lock Ultra and ALR

The tripod is equipped with unique G-Lock Ultra locks, which combine perfect ergonomics and extreme strength. They speed up handling and prevent the penetration of dirt into the mechanism. The Gravity Lock works with weights, which vertically acts on the tripod legs. The greater the load, the stronger the lock.

The Anti-Leg-rotation system is useful against leg turning  and facilitates the folding and unfolding of the tripod. It works on the principle of locking sleeves that allow you to deploy and put away the tripod in 15 seconds. 

Ground Level Set 

The Ground Level Set enables the handling of a central bar and shooting low to the ground without removing the camera. The result is a simple locking disc that releases a central rod, while the upper disc with the mounted head and camera remains firmly in place. For users, the benefit is clear - simplified and streamlined work.
