3 Legged Thing Eclipse Albert Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod (Gunmetal Gray)

Description

The Eclipse Albert Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod from 3 Legged Thing is an updated variant of the original Albert tripod. Identical in nearly every way, the Eclipse series only differs from the Equinox through the use of Gunmetal Gray coloured fittings instead of the classic blue and bronze.

The Albert Eclipse features five leg sections that can extend to a maximum height of 179 cm and also go as low as 13 cm. At the 23° angle leg spread, which is considered a normal stance, the tripod can support a maximum of 30 kg. (The legs have two additional wider stances, and these will support less weight.) The twist lock's Para-lock feature works by restricting the opening movement of the friction lock, preventing you from accidentally unscrewing the lock until the leg section detaches.

The three-section centre column can be inverted, enabling the user to raise the height of the tripod, while physically lowering the camera to the desired height. This is a helpful feature for doing macro photography. Fold the legs 180° in reverse to make the tripod more compact for travel and storage.

All 3 Legged Thing tripods have a detachable leg with standard 3/8"-16 threads at both ends. The Tri-mount plate and threaded bolt can be unscrewed and removed from the top of the centre column, then screwed directly onto the leg. The detachable leg can be used as a monopod, microphone boom, and selfie stick.
