Q: 1. What is the size of diameter of ballhead base? I am going to use this tripod with the Leofoto LH-55LR low profile ballhand.

A: The head mounting plate on the 3 Legged Thing Winston 2.0 Tripod (Gray) is 2.9" in diameter.

Q: 2. This tripod is entirely magnesium? No aluminum at all?!

A: The 3 Legged Thing Charles 2.0 Darkness Magnesium Alloy Tripod (Matte Black) is made of Magnesium alloy. Magnesium alloys are mixtures of magnesium (the lightest structural metal) with other metals (called an alloy), often aluminium, zinc, manganese, silicon, copper, rare earths and zirconium.

Q: 3. Do you know the load capacity when used as a monopod?

A: anything under 10 kg / 22 lb from top-down and you won't have an issue, if you're using the monopod at an angle or as a boom arm this will vary on circumstances.

Q: 4. This tripod has no aluminum at all? Others on the web claim a mix of magnesium and aluminum. Want to be sure 100% magnesium.

A: The 3 Legged Thing Charles 2.0 Darkness Magnesium Alloy Tripod (Matte Black) is made of a magnesium alloy--"alloy" means that something is mixed with the magnesium, usually aluminum.

Q: 5. Would this be good with 150mm - 500m lens? Thanks

A: Yes, the 3 Legged Thing Punks Travis 2.0 Magnesium Alloy Tripod with AirHed Neo 2.0 Ball Head (Matte Black), B&H # 3LTRAVISDK20, would be a good tripod to use with your 150-500m lens as the load capacity is 40 lb / 18.1 kg. There are also some universal L-brackets that are compatible with the tripod for more lens support, which can be found here: https://bhpho.to/4duXQBa.

Q: 6. How do you convert it to a boom?

A: The center column of the 3 Legged Thing Charles 2.0 Darkness Magnesium Alloy Tripod with AirHed Pro Ball Head does not turn into a boom arm.

Great build, feel, and length. I use it more as an extendable boom arm for flash than monopod. Works great either way. Wish it came with a lanyard. 5

Strong 66llb, light (1.4lb),tall (80”) And reasonable price. Plus the bubble textured rubber is cool. Excellent value. 5

solid monopod with impressive height. lock rings are easy to set, and the locking is tight. with the DocZ2 foot easily supports and holds large zooms yet is still light enough for hiking photography. definite recommend. and yes, my best friend did buy one as well. 5

I recently got a 200-500mm lens for my Nikon and while it's not too heavy to use without any kind of stabilization, long periods of holding it were getting tiresome and I was going to be shooting a hockey game in the coming weeks. So I dug through reviews and specs and decided on this one. The deciding factor for me was the height, I'm a taller person and the other highly rated monopods that caught me eye tapped out at a height that could have been slightly smaller than what I would need and their weight threshold seemed kind of low. This one blows those out of the water in terms of height and weight thresholds. I don't think I'll ever be in a position to push this one to its limits and apparently that's what sold me. I've only used it a handful of times so far but it's been great. It was easy to quickly expand and shrink down while I was running around the arena and it felt solid and sturdy through the 4 hours of shooting. I'd definitely recommend it as I don't have anything negative to say about it. The extra stabilizing foot is a cool addition but, admittedly, I haven't really given that a go as I've been perfectly fine just using the monopod alone. Overall, it seems to be very durable and fits just fine in the side strap of my camera backpack which is obviously great for traveling purposes. 5

Upon first opening the box I was surprised at the relatively light weight but after inspecting the unit fount that it is very strong and very well made. I would not hesitate to recommend this item to anyone who is in the market for a well made monopod. 5
