Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Nicholas ★★★★★

Submerged the legs in a stream while setting up a long-exposure shot, and the waterproof locking mechanisms didn't let a single drop inside. The carbon fiber build is impressively light for how sturdy it feels.

Claire ★★★★★

Took this out in a heavy downpour and the waterproof legs handled it perfectly—no hesitation about getting the carbon fiber wet. Twist locks are smooth and easy to adjust even with cold, wet fingers, which makes setup much less of a hassle in bad weather.

Lily U. ★★★★★

Finally a tripod I don’t have to tiptoe around near water—the waterproofing is the real deal, and the carbon fiber legs are surprisingly light for how sturdy they feel. Set it up on a wet rocky shore with no worries, and it held my camera rock-steady through a gusty afternoon.
