Review Summary

I've always been drawn to 3 Legged Thing's product line. I love how they take something that's traditionally quite boring and make it, well?kinda sexy. Its looks are only surpassed by its usefulness. They ESILY handle far more weight than one would expect at this price range and are incredibly stable. The new carrying cases are a huge jump in quality over their previous generation. So why the 4 stars instead of 5? Mine arrived with a few scratches on 2 of the locking ball joints. Not a deal breaker, but for something that people buy for looks as well as utility, it matters.

I am an above average photographer but not quite the level of a pro. I recently upgraded from the Siuri T-1005 and just got tired of not being able to get some shots that I knew were feasible had I had a proper tripod. This tripod exceeds all expectations. Over vacation, I ran into multiple other photographers who all had the first edition of the Albert and they could not overstate how great the tripod was. There were also instances where I was trying to shoot over large crowds in Europe and was unable. However, the other photographers who fully utilized the expanding height of the Albert were able to shoot over crowds with ease as if they weren't even there. There are lighter tripods out there, but as a total package, the Albert 2.0 is perfect for travel anywhere.

It is with great pride that Adorama presents the Albert 2.0 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod in Metallic Slate Gray, a pinnacle of engineering excellence and a testament to the innovative spirit of 3 Legged Thing. This high-quality tripod is meticulously crafted from 100% pure, 8-layer carbon fiber, ensuring unparalleled durability and a lightweight profile that is essential for photographers and videographers on the move.
The Albert 2.0 is not just sturdy; it is a marvel of versatility, boasting an impressive working range that spans from a low 12.1cm (4.7 inches) to an extended height of 182.1cm (71.6 inches). This range of height adjustments allows for optimal flexibility in a multitude of shooting environments, whether capturing low-angle macro shots or shooting from a higher vantage point.
The tripod's compact folded size of 43.1cm (16.9 inches) makes it an ideal travel companion, effortlessly fitting into hand luggage for photographers who demand professional stability wherever their assignments take them. The Albert 2.0's innovative design includes three detachable legs, which can be transformed into monopods or boom arms, adding to its multifunctional capabilities. When paired with 3 Legged Thing's range of footwear (sold separately), these legs can also create a table-top tripod, perfect for studio work or impromptu shoots in confined spaces.
Enhanced with knurled lock caps and a collar, the Albert 2.0 offers improved grip and leverage, allowing for easy adjustments even in challenging conditions. The precision-engineered leg lock system, featuring new anti-rotation Chicken Lips (shims), delivers an unprecedented level of stability and rigidity, supporting a variable load capability of up to 30kg. This robust construction ensures that the tripod remains steadfast, providing a reliable foundation for your camera gear.
The patented Tri-Mount plate further enhances the tripod's functionality, offering hollowed spurs for attaching clip-on devices, and the D-Ring & Tools assembly replaces the traditional spring hook for added convenience. A 1/4" screw foot accommodates a wide array of accessories, ensuring that the Albert 2.0 can adapt to any shooting scenario.
In summary, the Albert 2.0 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is a professional-grade tool that caters to the diverse needs of photographers and videographers. Its exceptional build quality, combined with its adaptability and ease of use, makes it a superior choice for creatives who demand the best in stability and versatility for their imaging endeavors.
