3 Legged Thing Charles 2.0 Darkness Magnesium Alloy Tripod (Matte Black)
The Charles 2.0 Darkness Magnesium Alloy Tripod from 3 Legged Thing is an incredibly stable tripod that's ideal for landscape, astrophotography, studio work, and more. It is quick and easy to set up with 3-section legs and a single section center column. Its aerospace-grade magnesium alloy construction makes it lightweight and durable, and it boasts an impressive 18:1 load to weight ratio. It has a robust 88-pound load capacity and a maximum height of 72.8" yet weighs only 4.46 pounds and reverse-folds to a compact 24".

Modular and versatile, the Charles 2.0 offers many different configurations all from a single tripod. Its 3 detachable legs enable conversion to monopod or tabletop tripod. Three individually adjustable leg angles allow use on uneven terrains, and the removable / reversible center column means that photographers can shoot from above, or right down at ground level. It is easy to take apart for maintenance and cleaning, and the unique parallel leg lock and cap design prevents accidental disassembly. The patented Tri-mount plate includes a double-ended mounting bolt with 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threads, plus multiple mounting points, making it easy to mount a variety of tripod heads or other accessories.
