About 3 Legged Thing Legends Bucky

Why settle for less when you can have the Legends Bucky 5-Section Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod, a premium-grade, highly versatile photography accessory designed for both still and video photography. This gray tripod, part of the esteemed Legends range by 3 Legged Thing, is not just incredibly portable but also offers an impressive working height range from ground level up to nearly 2 meters tall, providing you with an array of shooting angles and positions.

One of the standout features of the Bucky tripod is its three detachable legs, which can be conveniently used as monopods or boom arms, enhancing your photography experience. When the legs are removed, Bucky transforms into a handy table-top tripod with the addition of 3LT's specialized tripod footwear.

Constructed from 8 layers of 100% pure carbon fiber and aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, this tripod is the epitome of durability and sturdiness. It's designed to withstand frequent use and the elements, making it an ideal choice for travel photographers.

The Bucky tripod boasts a new design of leg and column locks, externally enhanced with O-Pads for improved grip, leverage, and water displacement. Internally, the locks are engineered with a unique design of Chicken Lips (shims) that provide the locks with superior strength and grip.

The tripod also features 3LT's innovative Rapid Latch, an anodized metal leg latch with an auto-engage lock. This latch is used to open and position Bucky's legs and to release them for counter-folding, making setup and takedown a breeze.

In conclusion, the Legends Bucky 5-Section Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod is a high-quality, durable, and versatile photography accessory that promises to elevate your photography experience. Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, this tripod is a valuable addition to your gear.
