The Gearing company have a longstanding history in the aviation industry and years of experience inventing. They have developed a range of photography products that demonstrate state-of-the art technology.
The new Gearing Tripod System, featuring patented magnetic technology and highly customisable elements, is promising to change the game somewhat.
Encompassing three key elements; outstanding materials, unprecedented modularity and tremendous durability, The Gearing Company say they have produced the most versatile carbon fibre tripod yet.
A magnetic connection to the ball head ensures rapid attachment to your camera or scope, while providing faultless accuracy and stability. The innovative centre column holds a handy 10-piece screwdriver kit and features a removable ballast hook. Detach the centre column from the system to use in hand-held mode or invert it to shoot straight down for extreme close-up photography.
The modular heart unit allows you to attach different leg length options, transforming the system from a full-length to a tabletop tripod. Each carbon leg can be converted into trekking poles by attaching the handles and spikes included in the kit, suitable for hiking whilst exploring or birding.
In those instances where you don’t have time to set up a tripod, the innovative design allows each of the legs to be used separately as monopods, to provide you with instant stability in fast-paced, fluid situations. Never expect to miss a photo opportunity while using this system.
Covering a multitude of needs, this system has the capacity for adaptive change like no other giving a great solution for the discerning wildlife photographer or watcher who enjoys adventure while travelling light.
With a ballpark figure of £1,500.00 for the full kit and endorsed by Leica, the tripod has already gained much attention prior to launch. The tripod will also be available to purchase on its own for use with third party heads.
