The Explorer Ascent Professional Carbon Fiber Tripod is the largest and suitable for larger photography setups where stability is the main goal. It's perfect for keeping shake-free in windy conditions for landscape photographers, and just as ideal for impressive stability in the studio. The large load capacity of up to 25kg ensures high stability in a multitude of conditions, whether in the studio or exploring the landscape. 10-layer carbon fiber provides rigidity but keeps weight down. Each leg is attached to the tripod collar via an offset leg joint that helps evenly distribute heavy loads and maintain tripod rigidity. The joints and collar are constructed of lightweight anodized aluminum, which in addition to giving the tripod inherent strength, also provides natural resistance to wear and corrosion. Each of the three leg joints also features a variable angle stop that allows for multiple shooting positions. The flat stand can be exchanged for the EX-ACPROCC center column (available separately) if more height is required. Additional weights or a camera bag can be mounted to the center hook to add extra weight for windy conditions. 3/8" and 1/4" accessory ports are included in the center joint for mounting accessories such as the Explorer Sidekick Magic Arm. The flat mount features a 3/8-inch stud that will accept most tripod heads. 4 sections extend to create maximum working height and collapse to ensure
