OSN Carbon Fiber Tripod w/ Collar Lock Ball Socket Head (4 Leg Section) |
Using carbon fiber and magnesium created a product that is a third less weight, yet three times stronger than a tripod constructed of aluminum. This innovative tripod with ball socket head is designed to meet the many needs of today’s photographer. At a maximum operating height of 72 inches, it’s the perfect size for those standard shots, and with a minimum operating height of less than 21 inches, with standard center column, it allows for those close to ground tripod setups.
Carry the unit out into the field and you’ll immediately experience the weight advantage. At a combined weight of less than 6 pounds it’s easy to move the tripod from location to location with very little effort.
One other factor that has not been overlooked was how to make it easy to first set up the tripod, and then make quick final adjustments. The solution was to employ a quick lever leg lock system using materials that compliment the concept of strength at a lighter weight. As a result, the composite material used to construct the leg locks is an engineer grade glass reinforced nylon resulting in a strong and durable locking system, while adding very little overall weight to the product.
(A quick tip from the professionals: if you use multiple cameras, have a quick release mounting platform for each camera. When using your tripod this makes it simple to switch cameras without having to detach and reattach the mounting plate to your other camera.)
