This tripod uses three brass poles with a twisted finish. Unlike conventional tripods with integrated legs, the three separate poles allow for compact storage. The poles can also be used for other purposes when not in use. (We are currently prototyping parts that allow the disassembled poles to be connected to items like a Shellcon or IGT.) The poles are secured by lowering the locking lever after installation. The 3/8" screw allows for attachment to various tabletops. The height is approximately 45 cm. Each item will be made to order.
