3-Section and 4-Section Tripods
The 3-section 730/830 and 4-section 740/840 Neo Carmagne (pronounced “Carmain”—stands for Carbon Fiber
and Magnesium) tripods feature a state-of-the art design that makes them ideal for SLRs and medium format
cameras. The leg sections are constructed of superior carbon fiber tubing and Magnesium alloy, making them
extremely lightweight, yet sturdy. The unique carbon fiber material is one-third lighter than traditional aluminum-
based tripods and yields a level of strength that far surpasses iron or aluminum. In addition, its composition is
excellent for absorbing vibration and resisting temperature changes. Each leg is equipped with durable urethane
grip protective covers to prevent scratching.
◆ Weighing just over six pounds, the Neo
Carmagne’s body and other components are
die-cast with magnesium alloy, creating a
compact, well-built tripod.
◆ They can be set up quickly and effortlessly
for any shooting situation, with the tripod’s
versatile and individually adjustable leg
spread positions (standard, semi low-angle
and full low-angle).
◆ Inner Jut Pipe system provides a convenient
and fast method to setup and collapse the
tripod’s leg sections by eliminating the
circular rotating motion that occurs when
the leg locks are disengaged. This allows you
to tighten or loosen the tripod leg sections
independently.
◆ The legs come equipped with urethane grip
protective leg covers to prevent scratching.
◆ Geared center column allows for precise
adjustment and features a friction adjuster
and elevator stopper.
◆ Available in black, the tripods also feature all
metal rubber covered collar leg locks; rubber
tipped, adjustable metal spikes; and a “free”
stone bag for extra stability.
