The Explorer is a tripod for special applications;
a versatile support that opens up new shooting perspectives. Thanks
to it's unconventional design, the legs can be set at any angle and
moved independently while the center column tilts and rotates freely
to any position. The Explorer unleashes its potential when used with
a ball head, a combination that makes it the ideal tripod for
creative photographers, looking for unconventional shots: close to
ground, upside down or in tight or awkward spaces. Ideal
applications are outdoor macro and nature photography, still life
and architectural.
The best choice for DSLR or for lightweight
camcorders. Recommended for 200mm lens, up to 300mm maximum. Series
2 offers an excellent maximum load capacity and very good torsional
rigidity. Weight and size are still convenient for travelling or
trekking. Series 2 is the ideal solution for photographers that are
looking for a solid and yet lightweight tripod.

clamp. Easily holds over 25 lbs (11.4kg) at any angle.

satin black anodized finish. Fits all standard tripods (1/4-20
