3LT Punks Brian Outstanding

So far best travel tripod I've owned. Light, fast, and seems pretty well made. Several available accessories that just make using it a better experience.

Great tripod!

I wish I was aware of this brand sooner. Tripod is well made and I appreciate the options I have when using it. When they say it designed for photographers by photographers, it’s true.

Flimsy but small and light

I read quite a few reviews on this tripod which were all great, it's well built and the head isn't bad but even for a travel tripod the smaller extensions are too small which makes this flimsy under load. I had to return this, I did not trust it with my expensive gear. I did find another solution which meets all my needs, if you are looking for a mid to high end travel tripod I would advise looking elsewhere

3 Legged Thing of Joy

Just back from week away using the 3 Legged Thing Brian Tripod and all I can say is it’s awesome. Super easy to use, very stable, robust build and honestly.....it looks awesome. After hours of research I am very happy with this purchase. Made even better by the quick delivery. Even better it is fully compatible with the Peak Design line of products. Would recommend this tripod to anyone from beginner to serious hobbyist. Not a pro so can’t comment at that level.
