This tripod is not just a testament to portability but also boasts an expansive working height range that extends from ground level to an impressive 2 meters, catering to a variety of shooting scenarios.
Crafted with precision, Bucky is constructed from eight layers of 100% pure carbon fiber, renowned for its lightweight and sturdy characteristics, and aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, ensuring durability and resilience in the most demanding environments.
