,3 Legged Thing Legends Ray Tripod with AirHed VU in Grey
Ray is the ultimate, ultra compact, micro travel tripod, pairing incredible portability with strength and stability
Part of 3 Legged Thingâs new Legends range, Ray features not one but three detachable legs which can be used as monopods or boom arms. With the legs removed, Ray can be used as a table top tripod by adding a set of 3LTâs tripod footwear.
Ray is constructed from 8 layers of 100% pure carbon fibre and aerospace grade magnesium alloy, and has 3LT's new design of leg and column locks. Externally new O Pads give users improved grip, leverage, and water displacement. Internally the locks have been engineered with a new design of anti rotation Chicken Lips (shims) which give the locks greater strength and grip.
3LTâs new Rapid Latch, a new anodised metal leg latch with auto engage lock, is used to open and position Rayâs legs, and to release them for counter folding.
Ray ships with a stunning new Arca Swiss compatible ballhead â the AirHed Vu, and QR Octa quick release plate. AirHed Vu features contoured security cut outs in the detachable clamp, to accommodate security pins in the underside of the QR Octa plate. AirHed Vu also has a vision panel in the casing allowing uses to see the mechanism move into place.
