3 Legged Thing Nicky
When it comes to tripods, we should be thinking carefully. That three-legged
implement is the thing we entrust to securely hold the most valuable items in
our gear-haul: our camera and glass! To that end, together with camera straps,
I’ve placed enormous energy in ensuring my tripod is up to the job with zero
compromise. 3 Legged Thing tripods perform exceptionally well, and in the
Legends range, “Nicky” is a step up from a traveler’s tripod toward something
that’s suited perfectly to landscape photography and videography.
The lack of a central column means that what we lose in compactness, we
make up for in stability. Each leg is made up of four sections that extend to
give the tripod a total height of 61.41 " (1.56m), so it affords a vertical advantage
over many compact systems, while still being suited to travel. Despite its size,
it weighs in at only 5.29 lbs (2.4 kg), being made of 100% pure, 8-layer carbon
fiber, offering enormous strength and a maximum load of 132 lb. (60 kg.)
