3 Legged Thing JUDE Magnesium Alloy Video Tripod (Legs Only)
The 3 Legged Thing JUDE Magnesium Alloy Video Tripod (Legs Only) is a twin-legged video tripod made of magnesium alloy, supplied without a head. On top sits a standard 75 millimeter bowl. A wide range of video heads fits in it, such as the separately available AirHed Motion.
The tubes are made of aircraft-grade magnesium alloy. The tripod weighs 2.3 kilos and supports video rigs of up to 30 kilos. How much you actually load onto it also depends on the load capacity of your head. A twist-lock mechanism and a mid-level support brace provide a rigid base.
Each leg has three sections. You spread the legs independently of each other, with a leg angle of 23°. The working height ranges from 66.5 to 150 centimeters, and folded down the tripod measures 69 centimeters. The removable rubber feet have built-in stainless steel spikes, so the tripod stands firmly both in the studio and outdoors.
If you want to carry less weight, there is the HUGH: the carbon version with the same heights and the same load capacity, weighing 1.8 kilos. The JUDE comes with a padded shoulder bag with carry handle and removable shoulder strap.
