Review Summary
The Nest LS600A by Dolica is an exclusive Luxury Anodized Aluminum Tripod with quality rivaled only by the most exclusive Italian brands on the market. What sets the Nest LS600A apart from the rest of the tripods on the market is the attention to detail. Each Nest Tripod is made from the highest quality Aerospace Aluminum Alloy 7075, with zinc as the primary alloying element. It's strong, with dust and sand resistant twist locks. Its strength is comparable to many steels with high corrosive resistance.
Each Nest LS600A Tripod is meticulously assembled then thoroughly tested which takes 3 times longer than the average tripod. The process starts by utilizing ultra-precise CNC (computer numerical controlled) machining to create 95 percent of the aluminum parts for the tripod. What CNC means for you is that all of the parts are created from a single block of aluminum. This is advantageous compared to the traditional cast aluminum tripod because the CNC parts have the tightest tolerances creating perfect copies of the original thus creating a smoother operating tripod.
Finally, each product is made in small production runs and is stress tested before use. The Nest LS600A also has a protective anodized finish that makes the tripod resistant to: rubbing, chipping, peeling, and allows for a resilient finish that will be beautiful for many years. The Nest LS600A has many advanced features for photographers with professional grade demands.
Standard features i ncluded with these professional series tripods are a counterweight hook for adding stability at the center column, reverse center column width by inverting the tripod legs, multi-angle leg locks for adapting leg angle to any elevation.
Finally, the Nest LS600A includes an ultra-premium ball head created with Aerospace grade CNC Aluminum parts as well while eliminating external rubber parts for extra durability and luxury. This ball head has a unique 3rd button that controls the tilt drag. By tightening the tilt drag, the camera can move smoothly in any direction and tune perfectly for your cameras' weight. The other 2 levers independently lock the pan and tilt.
The Nest LS600A employs the highest quality construction with the most buttery smooth pan and tilt of any ball head ever tested. The easy to read degree marks at the pan base makes for precise panorama shots as well. Finally the Nest LS600A has a 3 way bubble level system to ensure your shots are level horizontally and vertically. The quick release clamp has very tight tolerances and includes its own adjustment screw to set the amount of tension exerted on the quick release plate. Included with the Nest LS600A is a luxurious double padded nylon carrying case and tool kit.
