Aluminum tripod weighing you down? Ditch that heavy piece of metal for Delkin’s Fat Gecko Tripod. At only 1 lb, the tripod’s ultra-light weight makes it easy and convenient to carry around. Made of 7 layers of carbon fiber using a Z-weave pattern, the Fat Gecko Tripod has proven to be highly durable and can hold up to 30 lbs.
As it is not made of metal, the tripod will not corrode or tarnish. With its unique 3-section design, the tripod sets up and breaks down in a matter of seconds. Simply unstrap the tripod and it will practically assemble itself. It can fold down to 22 inches and reach up to 67 inches when the middle column is fully extended. Elastic bands, attached near the bottom to each leg, provide extra stability and ensure that the legs do not spread apart.
A standard 3/8” post with a Fat Gecko 1/4 -20” locking ball head is included with the tripod, which can be used to mount any DSLR, camcorder, or compact camera. Whether you are travelling, photographing nature, or just need to stabilize your camera, the Fat Gecko Tripod provides the high-quality and durability of a high end carbon fiber tripod at a fraction of the weight and cost. If you want the lightest, strongest, and most durable compact tripod made in the USA, Delkin’s Fat Gecko Tripod is for you!
