Naw, buy something else.

I've had this for just over a year now and, while I've almost never bothered to write a review of anything, I felt that this one deserved it. In theory, it seemed like a good tripod for the money. I've used a few 3 Legged Thing products and thought they were good value. However this is built in such a way that there are tons of little fiddle bolts that hold it together. These get loose and must be regularly tightened with the included wrench. Not a problem if that was a couple of bolts once a week or so. However it's not. It's a LOT of bolts constantly. I made the mistake of not retightening one yesterday in the middle of my shoot day (I'd, of course, tightened them all before the day started) and down came my new Canon R5 and RF70-200 onto the cement floor. Most expensive tripod EVER!

Just Not a Fan

First, the top, right under where you put the head, is kind of sharp, and thats where i hold it most of the time. Day 1 it cut my thumb. Next, the legs are pretty stiff to open and close. and they squeak pretty badly. Im sure I could loosen them and even grease them, but that is not what I want to be doing on day 1 of owning a tripod. There also was a rattling, but that turned out to be a loose foot. Which again, right out of the box should not be something im dealing with. But an easy fix, so no big deal. If you didn't know, on this tripod you can unscrew each leg. Seems like a great idea. But I really wish there was a lock of some sorts for this. When opening the legs I was also (at times) loosening them. so I'd have to open the legs, then tighten them again. Lastly, and this is personal preference, i wish it had a smaller footprint. It has 3 adjustment levels for this, but even the lowest level has the legs over 30" apart from each other. My old giottos (may it rest in peace) had legs that were just 21" apart, which was great for the work i do (property photography).

Very stable and easy to carry. I’m impressed by the quality and look forward to many get shots to come with the confidence of this platform.

The Winston 2.0 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod from 3 Legged Thing represents a pinnacle in tripod innovation, designed for photographers and videographers seeking a blend of durability, versatility, and stability in their equipment. Crafted from 100% pure, 8-layer carbon fiber, this metallic slate gray tripod offers exceptional strength and longevity, capable of supporting a substantial load capacity of up to 40kg, making it ideal for heavy-duty camera setups.

Engineered with precision, the Winston 2.0 features three detachable legs that not only provide steadfast support but also transform into monopods or boom arms for creative versatility. The legs can be further customized with 3 Legged Thing's range of interchangeable footwear (sold separately) to adapt to various shooting environments, from rugged outdoor landscapes to confined studio spaces.

The tripod's innovative design includes knurled lock caps and a collar that enhance grip and leverage, ensuring secure and stable adjustments even in challenging conditions. The patented Tri-Mount plate offers additional utility, with hollowed spurs for attaching clip-on devices, streamlining your workflow and reducing the need for extra gear.

A testament to its thoughtful construction, the Winston 2.0 incorporates a re-engineered leg lock system featuring new Chicken Lips (shims) that significantly increase stability. This advanced anti-rotation engineering ensures that the tripod remains rigid and unwavering, even when supporting heavy loads.

Additional user-friendly features include a D-Ring & Tools assembly, which replaces the traditional spring hook for added convenience and accessibility. The tripod also comes equipped with a 1/4" / 3/8" screw foot, offering compatibility with a wide range of accessories and equipment.

The Winston 2.0 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is not just a support system; it's a reliable partner for photographers and videographers who demand the highest quality and functionality from their gear. Whether capturing stills or recording video, this tripod stands as a symbol of innovation and excellence in the world of photography equipment.
