About FotoPro TL-85C

Make your photography and videography sessions more efficient and versatile with the TL-85C 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod. This high-quality tripod, crafted from 1K carbon fiber, is a testament to Fotopro's commitment to superior craftsmanship and innovation. With its 5-section design and 8 interwoven, alternating layers of carbon fiber, this tripod offers unparalleled stability and durability, even under heavy loads.

Weighing in at a mere 2375g, the TL-85C is lightweight yet sturdy enough to support up to 30kg of equipment. This makes it an ideal choice for professionals who require a robust support system for their heavy camera and lens combinations. The tripod's maximum extended height ranges from 50.1" to 55", providing flexibility for shooting at various heights and angles.

The TL-85C's unique manufacturing method, featuring the Braided system developed by Fotopro, ensures superior structural resistance and vibration absorption. This system allows the tripod to be more stable, robust, and durable, while weighing over 25% less than similar products.

The tripod's maximum leg diameter is 36.5mm, and thanks to the Braided system, a fifth section has been added without compromising stability. When closed, the TL-85C measures a compact 47.5cm, making it easy to transport and store.

The central column of the TL-85C is removable, reducing the total weight by approximately 200g. Despite this, the column remains incredibly stable due to its 36mm diameter and the use of 8-layer 1K carbon in the Braided system. This ensures stability in any situation that requires a little more height.

Like all Fotopro tripods, the TL-85C is designed to withstand challenging conditions. However, to maintain its performance and longevity, it is recommended to clean any external agents such as sand with fresh water and, if necessary, by disassembling the tripod legs. After use in salt water, a rinse with fresh water is highly recommended.

In conclusion, the TL-85C 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is a versatile, high-quality, and durable tool that enhances your photography and videography experience.
