This new design is destined to be the year's most popular professional tripod. It has a unique style and is highly versatile. Its legs are made from seamless aluminium tubing for lightness and rigidity. The leg surfaces are finely polished twice, giving the ultimate in lock ability and agility, before finally being anodized in clear aluminum or black finish. The solid parts are finished in epoxy hammer-finish which is stove-enamelled at 300 degrees. Only the finest materials are used, typified by the selection of French-made high-strength carbon fibre tubing commonly used in aerospace engineering. It's made from twelve layers, the spiral grain is visible on the surface. Last but not least, the patented multi-function center column allows adjustment over 180 degrees from vertical to horizontal.
