Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Punches above its weight

I am an all day, every day tripod user, and I have more broken tripods from the last 20yrs than most people have. I really like this tripod. Pros... Very sturdy Tall, Good leg diameter, easy to carry 1/4 20 and 3/8 mounts beside the head area Looks great The tripod bag is more of a hard-shell case and works with the head on as well. In all honesty, I never used a case for more than a few minutes before, I have used this every day. Several mounting plates short throw leg locks Center column is included and a flat plate is included and a leveler is included Price to this level of carbon fiber is great Few sharp edges Cons A bit heavier than I was expecting for its height (also kind of a good thing) The mounting screw with the recessed 1/4 inside the 3/8 is not the best. It works but I would prefer a flip-able screw. The center column twist lock works great, but I wish it was more like the leg twist locks in shape.

Extremely well made, sturdy, and functional. Couldn't be happier. A++

I honestly can't remember the last time I bought something that felt as utterly well-built as this. I haven't even used it in the field yet and I already love it. First, it's incredibly sturdy and all of its components look and feel amazingly well-made. It's a touch heavier than I would have guessed, but well worth it for the size and strength. Second, I love the height. As a tall photographer I'm often left crouching down at my travel tripod's max height. When I invested in a second studier tripod, I was surprised to see that this at its max height was well above my head/eye level. I'd estimate its max height to be between 6'9'' and 7' (>2 meters) Finally, I love the accessories and configurability of it. The ball head is wonderful, sturdy, and easily adjusted. The 2-in-one 3/8 and 1/4" screws are clever and very functional. Even with a ball head, it's easily panned on a horizontal axis with convenient adjustment levers. I'm just so, so happy with this, especially at this price. I almost love the tripod more than my new camera (which is saying a lot)

A Great Combination Of Legs And Leveling Platform

I am in the process of writing a book on wildlife photography techniques and gear. Consequently, I have bought and tested many tripods and heads. I had been searching for a really good, moderately priced set of legs that would accommodate a between-the-legs leveling device which I could recommend. (I find such devices to be easier to use than any half ball leveler.) Adorama's half price holiday special on this model, which included such a device, was too good for me to pass up. When it arrived I chose that configuration, and thoroughly tested it. I was pleased to discover that it performed well. For its weight class it was as stable as any I have tested. I appreciated the inclusion of its bubble level, which was readable, even when a gimble head was mounted on its leveling platform. I also appreciated the inclusion of rubber grips on two legs as well as the inclusion of a decent case. (Since I outfitted it with a quick link device to allow me to switch from a point and shoot head to the gimbal one, I chose to replace the case with one that allowed room for stowing the gimbal head in an exterior side pocket.) I am very pleased with the resulting package and plan to take it backpacking, despite its slightly greater weight than a traveler design, since it is much faster to level and works well with either of the two heads to support even a long telephoto lenses on a full sized, gripped, DSLR.

The Toughest Workhorse 3Pod

The 3POD Everest Series T5 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod offers superior strength and stability for pro and semipro photographers. If you’re traveling and shooting on-location, this super-rigid tripod can handle a demanding workload and is dependable in any environment. From the studio, to weddings, sports, impulse opportunities, political and newsworthy sets, and outdoor activities, shoot still photography and video sessions on any adventure without compromising on operation or performance. Reach your peak with Everest.

3PCFEST5

The 3Pod Everest T5 has the look and feel of first-class camera support. The T5 gives photographers superior strength, thanks to a 10X carbon fiber frame, innovative center column design for compactness, and extreme low angle performance. The center assembly is interchangeable and can be removed without losing the head placement. With auto-stop leg levers that easily snap into the next angle position, struggling with leg angles is a thing of the past.

3PCFEST5

Everest in Action

Leg Angle

Pull out the Leg Angle Lever to the end, stop and lift the leg to the desired angle for placement. Slowly lower the leg. The Leg Angle Latch will automatically snap-lock to the next angle stop. You can quickly set the leg splay to your specific preference.

3PCFEST5

Leg Length and Extension

The tripod leg length can be set to any extension. Twist the leg lock clockwise to loosen the grip. Slide the leg to any extension and lock it in place by twisting the leg lock firmly counterclockwise. The mechanism increases the torque as you close the ring to establish a firm, secure hold.

3PCFEST5

Two options exist for the use of the Center Column

There are several options for the tripod function as a still camera support or a videographer’s dream machine. As a traditional still imaging tripod, the Everest T5 employs a superb center column for steady lift with a twist. Video devices love to work on the level with emotion to capture motion. Our Half-Bowl swivels and sets up to the whim of the user.

The traditional center shaft rises and falls at the selection of height. Wind locks are integrated into the center column assemble. The wings rotate counterclockwise and clockwise to control the shaft position. The other choice utilizes the half-bowl with leveling function or the flat plate. Turn the center assembly locking knob counter-clockwise to unlock the center assembly. The half-bowl leveling replacement for the center column separates with a twist of the column tightening assembly. Use the replaceable column to quickly set the level for video and still imaging devices. The 3/8” post screw is designed for attaching heads, including the 3POD H4 ball head.

3PCFEST5

Low Camera Angle Setup

Use the tripod without the center column for low angle shots without an interfering center column for freedom from leg angle limitations. Loosen the plate locking knob to remove the head locking plate. Unscrew the center column locking knob by turning the mechanism clockwise. The center column locking knob is located at the bottom end of the column and has a counterweight hook at its terminus. The top camera platform separates from the center column. Draw the column out of the shaped channel. Replace the traditional center column with the leveling half bowl adapter or flat plate and the counterweight mechanism.

3PCFEST5

Accessory Tap Holes

Accessory items are easily attached to the tripod through the 3/8” and ¼” screw holes on the top of the tripod platform collar.

3PCFEST5

The more you know about Everest, the more nimble the climb.
