Ultra-Compact & Travel-ReadyÂ
At an exceptionally compact 35.6 cm (14 inches) when folded and weighing just 1.62 kg (3.57 lbs) including the head, Ray is the quintessential carbon fibre travel tripod. Its diminutive size makes it ideal for slipping into larger camera bags or airline carry-on luggage, ensuring you're always prepared for adventure.Â
Exceptional Load CapacityÂ
Despite its svelte profile, Ray boasts a remarkable 24:1 load-to-weight ratio, confidently supporting up to an impressive 30 kg (66 lbs). This makes it a powerful and stable platform for a wide array of camera setups, from lightweight mirrorless systems to professional DSLRs with substantial lenses.Â
AirHed Vu Ball Head IncludedÂ
This kit features the innovative 3 Legged Thing AirHed Vu Ball Head. An Arca-Swiss compatible head, it includes the unique QR-Octa quick-release plate with security pins for a secure camera attachment. The AirHed Vu offers smooth 360° panning, independent pan and ball lock controls, and its distinctive "vision panel" that allows you to observe the internal locking mechanism in action. It's robust, capable of handling a 40 kg (88 lbs) payload on its own.Â
Modular & Highly VersatileÂ
Unlock creative potential with Ray's modular design. Each of its three legs is individually detachable, allowing them to be used as full-sized monopods or boom arms. The removable and reversible centre column facilitates ultra-low angle shots and macro photography, or can be detached entirely for enhanced ground-level stability.Â
Premium Carbon Fibre ConstructionÂ
Crafted from 8 layers of 100% pure carbon fibre and aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, Ray delivers outstanding strength, rigidity, and durability without compromising on portability.Â
Rapid Latch SystemÂ
Engineered for swift and precise adjustments, the innovative Rapid-Latch leg angle adjustment system allows for quick repositioning of the legs (23°, 55°, 80°). Its ergonomic design ensures ease of use, even when wearing thick gloves or for users with dexterity considerations.Â
Enhanced O-Pads for Superior GripÂ
The redesigned twist locks feature revolutionary O-Pads, providing superior grip, enhanced torque, and exceptional water displacement. This ensures quick, secure locking and optimal stability in any weather condition.Â
Interchangeable Footwear SystemÂ
Adapt to diverse terrains with Ray's interchangeable footwear system. The included detachable rubber Bootz can be easily swapped for a wide range of optional 3 Legged Thing foot accessories (such as spikes, claws, or the DOCZ foot stabiliser), ensuring maximum stability and grip on any surface.Â
Comprehensive Kit AccessoriesÂ
The set includes a premium clamshell-opening nylon carry bag with cushioned interior, the handy Toolz multi-tool, an anodised magnesium alloy D-Ring, and a microfibre head bag for convenient transport and maintenance.Â
