The Tripod130 Premium Carbon Fiber Tripod from ORANGEMONKIE is a versatile tool for tabletop, studio, and travel photography. Made of premium carbon fiber and sturdy twist-lock releases, the legs provide independent spread for positioning the camera from full height all the way down to floor level for a more dramatic perspective. The unusual center column-free design reduces weight without sacrificing stability, while the lightweight design and compact 22-inch folded length make the Tripod130 an ideal travel tripod.

The robust Arca-style compatible ball head features a large control knob with safety locking knob, two bubble levels, and an independent panning base locking knob. The head's unique rotating quick release plate receiving platform features an indexed scale and locking lever, providing precise and repeatable positioning. The quick release plate receiver also has an indexed scale and accepts Arca-type plates with safety screws to prevent accidentally releasing the camera.

The Tripod130 achieves its lightweight portability by a combination of carbon fiber construction and the elimination of the center column, providing a more stable base for steadying the camera. The adjustable twist-lock legs and independent leg spread provide a wide range of available working heights from floor level up to full height

The wear-resistant rubber foot pads can be easily unscrewed and replaced with the included stainless steel foot spikes, providing secure footing in any studio or location conditions
