Tripod maker 3 Legged Thing has unveiled new additions to its Legends range. The tripods are called Bucky and Ray, with the Ray being an \u2018ultra-compact\u2019 traveller tripod, with a folded length of 35.6cm, the ability to support loads up to 30kg and a two-section centre column (see below).<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Bucky, below, has a maximum height of 1.89 metres with a minimum height of 11cm; it also has a three-section column for greater versatility. They were inspired by skateboarder, musician, photographer and 3 Legged ThingPro Team member, Ray\u00a0Barbee.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Both are made from carbon fibre and magnesium alloy and the company has also announced a new tripod head, the AirHed Vu. The sturdy yet lightweight head\u00a0features contoured security cut-outs in the detachable clamp to take security pins in the underside of the new QR Octa quick-release plate (which also comes with the head). The cut-outs reportedly help to reduce the weight of the head and there is a also\u00a0a clear section in the head\u2019s casing to make the mechanism visible.<\/p>\n

Prices as follows: Ray legs only, \u00a3319.99; Ray kit with AirHed Vu, \u00a3389.99. Bucky legs only \u00a3379.99; Bucky kit with AirHed Vu \u00a3449.99. See here<\/a>\u00a0for full details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
