3 Legged Thing Eclipse Leo & Airhed Switch Ball Head 5 Section Carbon Fibre Tripod
The 3 Legged Thing Eclipse Leo & Airhed Switch Carbon Fiber Tripod is an updated variant of the original Leo tripod kit. Identical in nearly every way, the Eclipse series only differs from the Equinox through the use of Gunmetal Grey-coloured fittings instead of the classic blue and bronze.
The Leo can be adjusted between a low-level angle of 12cm and the maximum height of 130.8cm, and fully folded at a length of only 35cm, which can fit in many carry cases and secured to many messenger bags. The included ball head adds another 9cm to the Leo, bringing the total maximum height to 139.7cm. The Leo also has a detachable leg that you can use as a monopod, mic boom, camera boom, or selfie stick. The detachable leg has a 3/8"-16 thread on each end. The Leo weighs only 1.4kg and supports up to 29.9kg when set up at a 23° leg spread, which is considered normal. At 55° it supports 20kg, and at 80°, 9.9kg.
