The Complete Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod of your Dreams.
Smart and sure, ever ready for action, the 3POD TREK Series Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod stands prepared to capture the image of your dreams. The best balance of stability, weight, agility, and compact travel in a tripod, optimized for easy transport and quick setup.

The TREK Series Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod from 3POD may be one of the most travel-friendly camera supports. Eight layers of the most formidable Carbon Fiber design clad the vibration absorbing legs better than most aluminum-based concepts. Carbon fiber is more than lightweight. It is a heavyweight champ, ready to fight off contenders for the throne of image stability. Above all, a matched head enhances its firm grip, unwavering position, and smooth dexterity.

The A-Team of Travel
The TREK Series Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod from 3POD is a multipurpose, compact camera support system forged with industrial-strength carbon fiber and finish. CF technology makes it lighter, more rigid, portable, and durable than traditional aluminum constructions. Suitable for payloads up to a hefty 26 lbs, this tripod is a true space-saver without sacrificing strength or stability. It collapses magically into a diminutive, 16.5-inch package, perfect for stacking with other equipment or tucking neatly into a suitcase for travel. True to its name, the TREK Series Carbon Fiber Tripod even transforms into a lightweight monopod solution.

For the photographer on the prowl, in you.
The twist-lock telescopic legs cluster close-fitting about the center column for an amazingly compact traveling height of less than 17". The entire unit weighing-in at an ultralight 2 pounds 2.6 ounces; there's nothing to stop you from carrying it with you anywhere you go or slip it in your backpack. The center column can be extended to give the system a total height of 58" without sacrificing stability. The twist locks are fortified with a cutting-edge, wear-resistant internal structure, making them immune to dust, moisture, changes in temperature, and the gradual loosening over time that can occur in inferior locking mechanisms. A convenient retractable weight hook provides an additional counterbalance to hang accessories. Transverse terrain, scale the heights, or explore the caverns with this capable, extraordinary lightweight 8X Carbon Fiber with fashionable accents and a superior wear-resistant finish.

Follow the leader
The removable 2-tiered center column allows this versatile configuration, taking advantage of the column's added height for high-angle shots. Textured rubber pads at the base of each leg grip for a slip-free hold on smooth surfaces. The legs lock in place with a 1/2 twist, with unique metal jacketed clamps that won't rust, loosen, or wear out over time and boasts advanced protection against the destructive forces of heat, cold, dust, and moisture.

This is a full-featured tripod capable of tackling all the challenges of the trail and leads the way. Each leg angle is individually adjustable and fixed, as you would expect in superior designed tripods, allowing for compensation to uneven surfaces, even ledges, and stairs, in angular placement with 3 position settings for the perfect stance. The asymmetrical arrangement of the legs serves to create an offset to the center of gravity and more flexible positioning in the wild.

The Strength of Steel. The Mass of Aluminum. The Precision of 3POD.
The B2 aluminum ballhead from 3POD's AB Series employs an advanced damping system for silky smooth movement. The 32mm ball floats in a superhard aluminum shell and is a prime choice for heavy-duty photography projects with a supported payload of up to 17.6 pounds. The smooth movement of the ball itself is controlled with two adjustment knobs, and the panning base features 360 Degree of action with a prominent positioning dial, perfect for techniques like panoramic splicing where exactness is a must.

The B2 AB Series can be fastened to a tripod head platform, a reverse center column for various projects, super-clamps and mobile supports or can be used alone as a stable tabletop mount for close-range photography.

Locks, locks, and knobs nobs.
The included ballhead from 3POD includes an Arca Swiss sliding quick release plate featuring a universal 1/4" mounting screw suitable for cameras of all sizes. The QR plate locks independently to the body of the ballhead for a secure, protective mount. All of the comfort of a tripod head without the overhead to cramp your style or travel ease.

Get on the Ball!
The ease and immediacy of a BALL HEAD for a tripod. This is the simplest method of camera support on a tripod to position the imagemaking device at the photographer's command choice.

Traditionally, tripods are graced with a head that serves to attach a camera and provide alignment for as many as 3 planes: Horizontal axis, Vertical axis, and Zenith/Arc leveling. While sophisticated clamps and levers provided excellent stability with their firm locking power, the 3-way tripod head could grow quite wieldy and heavy to hold a camera firmly.

The simple Ball Head overcomes most of the weight and all of the size issues, not the speed of deployment. One lever controls the tilt, orientation, and direction of the camera. The more well-endowed the head, the more separated the action controls provide 180-degree tilt and base camera rotation plus the second knob to independently control 360-degree panoramic swing.

Shoot stills or confidence that your device is firm and steady in the 3Pod AB2 Ball Head.
