The 3POD Orbit Tripod is a full service photo and video tripod, featuring fully adjustable legs and shaft, as well as the Orbit Overhead Shot System, which allows the shaft to rotate outwards from the legs, for low angle, overhead, and other specialty shots. Using top quality materials for a balance of stability and portability, the 3PODOrbit Tripod is an excellent choice for photography and video professionals. Mount it with your favorite specialty tripod head or choose one of our kits for added savings! Photographers choose Aluminum for its affordable durability and strength. The weight and stability of Aluminum make it a favorite for everyday use. Having four sections means this tripod can fold up smaller, for easier transport and storage. The 3POD Orbit Tripod has all of the features demanded by imaging professionals: Orbit Overhead Shot System The Orbit Overhead Shot System goes above and beyond. Besides being height adjustable like typical tripod shafts, the Orbit Overhead Shot System allows the shaft to pivot away from the tripod body, for low angle, overhead, macro, and other specialty shots. The shaft can also be rotated independent of the tripod head, for pans, tilts, and panoramas. Leg Spreaders Each leg is topped by a leg angle lock, which allows the legs to independently be spread to 85deg., 60deg. and 35deg. angles. This is useful to get best stability on uneven terrain, inclines, and steps
