Rated 4 out of 5

Easy to carry and setup

Took it out for a trip to Death Valley. Easy to carry with me, quick to set up and adjust. I usually leave my other tripod at home because I dislike carrying it around and working with it to set up a photo. This one is a breeze to set up. The only issue I had was the screw connecting to the camera would loosen from time to time. Still haven?t figured out why, but it could just as easily been something I was doing. It?s a small inconvenience given how much I liked using the tripod.

Great tripod

By STUART T.

This is a great lightweight tripod. Well constructed and I sure it will serve my needs for many years to come

Just when you thought photography equipment couldn't get any better, meet the Legends Ray 5-Section Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with AirHed Vu Ball Head. This ultra-compact, micro-travel tripod is the epitome of portability, strength, and stability, making it an essential tool for any photographer or videographer on the go.

As part of the innovative Legends range from 3 Legged Thing, the Ray tripod boasts not just one, but three detachable legs. These can be conveniently used as monopods or boom arms, adding versatility to your shooting experience. When the legs are removed, Ray transforms into a handy table-top tripod with the addition of 3LT's specialized tripod footwear.

Constructed from eight layers of 100% pure carbon fiber and aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, the Ray tripod is designed to withstand the rigors of travel and outdoor use. Its new design features robust leg and column locks, ensuring your equipment stays secure and steady.

The Ray tripod also introduces the new O-Pads, providing users with improved grip, leverage, and water displacement. Internally, the locks have been engineered with a unique design of Chicken Lips (shims) for enhanced strength and grip.

The tripod also features 3LT's new Rapid Latch, an anodized metal leg latch with an auto-engage lock, used to open and position Ray's legs and release them for counter-folding.

The Ray tripod comes with the stunning new AirHed Vu, an Arca-Swiss compatible ballhead, and QR-Octa quick release plate. The AirHed Vu features contoured security cut-outs in the detachable clamp to accommodate security pins in the underside of the QR-Octa plate. It also includes a vision panel in the casing, allowing users to see the mechanism move into place.

The 3 Legged Thing Legends Ray Tripod and AirHed Vu in Bronze/Blue is more than just a tripod; it's a versatile tool designed to elevate your photography and videography experience.
