Rated 4 out of 5

Easy to carry and setup

Took it out for a trip to Death Valley. Easy to carry with me, quick to set up and adjust. I usually leave my other tripod at home because I dislike carrying it around and working with it to set up a photo. This one is a breeze to set up. The only issue I had was the screw connecting to the camera would loosen from time to time. Still haven?t figured out why, but it could just as easily been something I was doing. It?s a small inconvenience given how much I liked using the tripod.

Great tripod

By STUART T.

This is a great lightweight tripod. Well constructed and I sure it will serve my needs for many years to come

How do you combine portability with unparalleled strength and stability in a tripod The 3 Legged Thing Legends Ray 5-Section Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with AirHed Vu Ball Head achieves just that, setting a new standard for the traveling photographer and videographer. This ultra-compact, micro-travel tripod is a marvel of engineering, designed for those who require a reliable support system without the bulk.

Crafted from 8 layers of 100% pure carbon fiber and aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, the Legends Ray offers a robust yet lightweight structure, perfect for on-the-go shooting. Its durability is matched by its versatility, featuring three detachable legs that can be transformed into monopods or boom arms for creative angles and shots. When the legs are removed, Ray effortlessly converts into a table-top tripod with the addition of 3LT's specialized tripod footwear, ensuring stability in a variety of shooting scenarios.

The tripod's innovative design extends to its leg and column locks, which are externally equipped with new O-Pads for superior grip, leverage, and water displacement. Internally, the locks boast a new Chicken Lips (shims) design, enhancing their strength and grip for a secure hold in any position. The new Rapid Latch system, an anodized metal leg latch with an auto-engage lock, allows for quick and easy adjustment of the tripod's legs, as well as their counter-folding for compact storage.

Included with the Legends Ray is the impressive AirHed Vu ball head, an Arca-Swiss compatible marvel with a vision panel that allows users to witness the locking mechanism in action. The ball head is paired with the QR-Octa quick release plate, featuring contoured security cut-outs to accommodate security pins, ensuring your camera is safely attached at all times.

With a maximum load capacity of 70 lbs and an extended height reaching up to 65 inches, the Legends Ray is suitable for a wide array of photographic and videographic applications. Whether you're capturing landscapes, portraits, or action shots, this tripod's high-quality construction and thoughtful design make it an indispensable tool for any travel-savvy content creator.
