BERLEBACH
WOODEN TRIPODS
Ash Wood Tripods—The Genuine Alternative
Manufactured for almost a hundred years in Mulda, Berlebach ash wood tripods have won
numerous awards for outstanding design achievement. The best value for the money, wood simply
does not resonate vibrations such as other materials, instead it gobbles them up. A wooden tripod
placed in a shallow stream may be vibrating quite a bit where the legs meet the water, but up at
the column it is dead as a doornail. Putting a laser pointer on top of a metal, carbon fiber and
wood tripod and shaking the legs of each clearly displays the advantage. The laser pointer’s beam
upon the wood tripod will have come to a rest much quicker than the others, and additionally its
resonating disturbances will be smaller as well. This will assuredly show up in your pictures!
Berlebach has been using ash wood - a renewable raw material - for almost 100 years. The
processed wood, known as sport ash, comes from the best controlled forests in Europe. It is
especially hard-wearing and elastic, as well as resistant to the forces of nature. Having been dried,
the wood is stored, prior to processing, for about another two years so as to eliminate any tension
within the wood as a result of growth. Several layers of protecting varnish guarantee long-term
care of the wood’s surface.
Seven tripod-leg lengths can be combined with six different light-metal mounting heads to make
up a complete tripod. This enables photographers to select the most suitable tripod for the
assignment or particular type of camera in question. And, special attention can also be given to
the vital factor of weight.

Wooden Advantages:
◆ Berlebach ash wood tripods can be used in climatic extremes. They
have served, for instance, on expeditions to the north and south pole,
in the desert and the rain forest.
◆ Handling a wood tripod in extremes of heat or cold is quite a
different experience than that of a metal or even carbon fiber tripod.
Unlike metal tripods, wooden tripods warm up only very slowly in
direct sunlight. Under extremely cold conditions, you can touch a
wooden tripod without having to wear gloves.
◆ Wood is electrically non-conductive, thus preventing
the damaging effects of electromagnetic fields and
electrostatic charging.
◆ Thanks to their favorable own weight, Berlebach ash
wood tripods deliver optimum stability under load.
◆ Berlebach tripods are robust and ideal for tough day-
to-day use.
