About X284c2 Columna Central Modular

Aquest trípode professional combina materials d'alta qualitat, enginyeria precisa i innovació centrada en l'usuari per satisfer les necessitats de fotògrafs i videògrafs exigents en entorns diversos. El seu sistema de columna central modular permet canviar ràpidament entre dues configuracions: amb o sense columna central. Aquesta característica, combinada amb una estructura robusta de fibra de carboni i una ròtula de bola d'alta càrrega, el fa adequat tant per a condicions de presa quotidianes com extremes.

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
Tags: Photography, Tripod, Still life, Modular, Video, Carbon fiber, Low angle
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.
