From the innovative Legends range comes the TOMMY 3-Section Carbon Fiber Hybrid Video/Photo Tripod, a versatile and robust solution for both photographers and videographers. This hybrid tripod, designed by 3 Legged Thing, offers two plate options - a flat plate and a 75mm Bowl mount, catering to a variety of shooting needs.

Despite its lightweight construction of just 2.59 kg or 5.70 lb, Tommy can support a hefty load of up to 60 kg or 132.2 lb. This impressive 23:1 load-to-weight ratio makes it an ideal companion for DSLRs and larger video cameras, perfect for landscape photographers and videographers alike.

Tommy's maximum height reaches 1.62 m or 63.77" when fully extended, and it can lower to a minimum height of 15.6 cm or 6.14". This range of height, combined with the 80-degree leg angle using the flat plate, ensures versatility in various shooting environments.

The tripod features twist locks for quick and easy deployment, and 3-section legs with a maximum diameter of 35mm or 1.37". Made from durable carbon fiber, Tommy stands as the sturdiest tripod across all of 3LT's ranges.

For added convenience, Tommy includes a 1/4"-20 screw thread on the side of the canopy for accessory attachment. The Rapid Latch feature allows for quick and easy leg angle adjustments, even when wearing thick gloves. The O-Pads, inset into the leg locks, provide enhanced grip, leverage, and water displacement.

Tommy's three detachable legs can be converted into a tabletop tripod with the addition of 3LT's Vanz footwear (sold separately). This feature, along with the anti-rotation Chicken Lips design for increased strength and grip, makes Tommy a versatile and reliable choice for any shooting scenario.
