3Pod Convertible Tripod/Monopod Systems

Adorama's 3Pod line offers four convertible tripod/monopods models constructed of CNC-forged carbon fiber, featuring removable, dual-sectioned center columns that can be used solely as monopods. The metal-jacketed twist locks on the foldable legs offer advanced wear protection, while outdoor-ready spiked feet are revealed under removable rubber grip covers. Tripod/monopod convertible 3Pod models include the P4CFC, P4CFH, P5RH and PFCFH.

The new 3Pod P4CFC tripod (more info) features a non-traditional, flat design that's geared for travel with its built-in compass. Its 62-inch height collapses into a completely flat, 18-inch package, making it perfect for packing into a case or stacking with other equipment for location shoots. Its industrial-strength carbon fiber holds as much as 28.6 pounds of equipment, making it an ideal choice for on-the-go productions.

The 3Pod P4CFH (more info) tripod features the same system design as the P4CFC, extending up to a max height of 65.5 inches, with additional H2 ball head and quick release plate. The H2 ball head is made of CNC-forged aluminum that can hold cameras weighing up to 28.6 pounds and features a high-quality hydraulic damping. The ball head is controlled with directional adjustment knobs and the panning base rotates a full 360-degrees, perfect for panoramic imaging. The quick-release plate features a universal mounting screw for cameras of all sizes and locks equipment firmly to the ball head.

Adorama's 3Pod P5CRH (more info) model reaches a maximum height of 55.5 inches and weighs in at an incredibly light four pounds yet can still hold up to 22 pounds of equipment thanks to its CNC-forged carbon fiber construction. The K3 professional ball head, an elegantly profiled camera support head, offers superior handling and rock-solid reliability thanks to its modern physics. It features enhanced hydraulic damping and a full 360-degrees of smooth, jitter-free rotation for panoramic shooting. Two bubble levels and positioning metrics are built directly into the ball head for easy calibration. A sliding quick release plate is also included with the ball head and attaches with a simple lever clamp.

The 3Pod P5CFH (more info) flat-folding designer tripod is a super-lightweight carbon fiber camera support system with an elegant burnished pattern on the legs and center column. The abrasion-resistant P5CFH can support up to 20 pounds of gear and is specially designed for easy transport, with the entire unit folding down into a single, flat and compact package at a mere 13.5 inches. Telescoping legs lock with just a half-turn of the reinforced metal-jacketed locks for a quick and easy setup, bringing it its tallest height of 56.5 inches. This tripod can be converted into a monopod and/or paired with the included telescoping center column for extra height. Included with the P5CFH is the K2 professional ball head, a scratch-resistant carbon body ball head that features enhanced hydraulic damping plus built-in bubble levels and positioning metrics for easy calibration. A sliding quick release plate is also included and attaches with a simple lever clamp. A built-in compass on the P5CFH leg platform makes this tripod great for travel photography.
