About X284c2 Modulêre Middelkolom

Hierdie professionele driepoot kombineer top-gehalte materiale, presiese ingenieurswese, en gebruikersgesentreerde innovasie om te voldoen aan die behoeftes van veeleisende fotograwe en videograwe in uiteenlopende omgewings. Die modulêre middelkolom-stelsel laat vinnige wisseling tussen twee konfigurasies toe: met of sonder 'n middelkolom. Hierdie kenmerk, gekombineer met 'n sterk koolstofveselstruktuur en 'n hoëlas-bolkop, maak dit geskik vir beide alledaagse en ekstreme opnamtoestande.

Unique Properties
Urban landscape photography requires subtle height adjustments, necessitating a raisable center column. However, this prevents the camera from lowering to ground level and reduces stability in strong winds. Photographers currently need multiple tripods for different scenarios. Our goal is to create a single versatile tripod to handle various shooting conditions.
Dimensions & Packaging
Product collapsed dimensions: 435mm x 125mm x 125mm
Product expanded dimensions: 1570mm

Production Technology
To ensure greater weather resistance and portability of the tripod, we utilize CNC technology to process the main components and apply anodizing to enhance corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments like the seaside. The legs of the tripod are made of carbon fiber tubing, maintaining rigidity while reducing weight.
Inspiration
Urban landscape photography requires adjustable camera heights, needing a raisable center column. However, this prevents lowering the camera to ground level and reduces stability in strong winds. Photographers often need multiple tripods for different scenarios. Our goal is to create a single tripod versatile enough for all conditions.
Project Duration
The project was initiated in Shenzhen in January 2022 and completed in Shenzhen in June 2022.
Operation Flow
We designed the tripod's center column into two modules connected by a rotating locking ring. Users simply need to loosen the locking ring, then press and hold the unlock button underneath the locking ring with two fingers to separate the tripod head connection module from the center column module. After removing the center column module, they can attach the tripod head connection module to the tripod to complete the switch.
