The unique carbon structure

The revolutionary technology of construction tubes of carbon fiber provides greater rigidity and strength in the tripod. Tubes of Carbon eXact are unique when compared to previous methods because they optimise the fiber compositions according to the pipe diameter. In practice this means that pipes with a lower diameter use an HM fiber diameter of just 5mm. This makes it possible to reduce the crossed layers by 40% while increasing the strength of the tube. 

G-Lock Ultra and ALR

The tripod is equipped with unique G-Lock Ultra locks,the perfect mix of ergonomics and strength. They facilitate handling and prevent the penetration of dirt into the mechanism. The Gravity Lock uses weights that vertically acts on the tripod legs. The greater the load, the stronger the lock.

The Anti-Leg-rotation system keeps the tripod stable and makes it easier to fold and unfold. It works on the principle of locking sleeves, which extends the 5-section tripod in less than 15 seconds.

Ground Level Set

Ground Level Set is an outstanding feature that allows users to handle a central bar and shoot low to the ground without removing the camera. It works thanks to a simple locking disc located beneath the upper disc, which releases a central rod, while the upper disc with mounted head and camera remains firmly in place. Total freedom of movement meets stability and security!
