FotoPro TL-85C 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with 100mm Bowl, T8 Center Column and Platform

Because of its superior construction and design, the TL-85C 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod stands as a top-tier choice for professional photographers and videographers. Crafted from 1K carbon fiber, this Fotopro tripod boasts 8 interwoven and alternating layers, offering unparalleled structural resistance and vibration absorption.

This lightweight tripod, weighing in at 2375g, can comfortably support up to 30kg of equipment, making it a versatile solution for various camera and lens combinations. Its maximum extension reaches 1.75 meters (1.51m without the center column raised), providing ample height for most photography needs. When paired with a ball head such as the LG-7R or LG-9R, and a camera, the total height can easily exceed 2 meters.

The TL-85C's unique manufacturing method results in a tripod that is more stable, robust, and durable, weighing over 25% less than similar products. The maximum leg diameter is 36.5mm, and thanks to the Braided system, a fifth section has been added without compromising stability. This feature allows the tripod to measure only 47.5cm when closed, making it highly portable.

The removable central column, with a maximum height of 1.36m without a ball head, contributes to the tripod's versatility. Despite its lightweight nature, the central column remains extremely stable due to its 36mm diameter and the 8-layer 1K carbon Braided system.

The TL-85C tripod is designed to withstand challenging conditions, but proper maintenance is essential. It's recommended to remove any external agents like sand with fresh water and, if necessary, by disassembling the tripod legs.

This kit also includes a leveling platform and a 100mm bowl, compatible with both TL-85C and TL-83C tripods. This accessory allows for easy leveling of the tripod by simply unscrewing the knob under the platform, enabling quick and precise camera leveling. This feature is particularly useful for video work, making it an ideal companion for the MH-7 video head. The total weight of these accessories is 556g.

In summary, the TL-85C 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with 100mm Bowl, T8 Center Column, and Platform is a sturdy, durable, and high-quality choice for any professional seeking a reliable and versatile tripod solution.
