You’re on an outdoor shoot running up against a tight deadline to get all the images
you need; you’ve got no assistants getting your equipment ready for you; if you shoot
handheld, you’re going to be forced to select from a dwindling number of sharp photos
as well as spend more time in post-production, but getting your tripod open, set up
and levelled is going to take up precious moments of the remaining perfect light...
sound familiar? So what would you give to have equipment that was on your side
in crucial moments like that? The NeoTec tripod is awesomely fast and easy to use,
with the most innovative rapid opening and closing mechanism available today - just
pull each leg downwards to open and automatically lock it in any position - with no
screws, knobs or levers to tighten or loosen. Then to fold it back up again, press the
mechanism release button and push the leg closed. All in a matter of seconds.
Manfrotto’s design team consciously ignored how most tripods work and thought instead about how a tripod should work, beginning
with
how easily and quickly it should be set up or how effortlessly it should close. At the heart of NeoTec lies an innovative mechani
sm which,
hidden safely inside the leg and without any external levers or knobs, pushes outwards on the tubing to lock the leg in place at
any exten-
sion. The mechanism exerts more locking power the heavier the weight pushing down on it from above. Beyond the extreme ease of use
it
offers you, NeoTec is also a workhorse tool for professional p
hotographers - offering stable and strong support that can take th
e strain of
constant use and safely bear the load of professio
nal camera equipment. But it doesn’t stop there, it also includes a built-in low
angle
adapter for the times when the center column length gets in y
our way, and a convenient handle for more comfortable carrying.
Press the mechanism release button
and push the leg upwards. Release
at any intermediate point to lock
the leg, or push it all the way up to
close.
Pull each leg downwards to open
and it automatically locks in any
position -with no screws, knobs or
levers to tighten or loosen.
