3Pod Unveils New Camera Accessories

3Pod has unveiled its new range of tripods, monopods, ballheads and video heads for photo and video professionals.

The products, which are available to pre-order from Adorama, include:

Orbit Overhead Shot System Tripods
Designed for photo and video use, the Orbit 3-Section Tripod and the Orbit 4-Section Tripod, are both available in either carbon fibre or aluminium. They feature a centre column that can be titled or oriented horizontally for overhead or low angle shooting. Featuring a lightweight and sturdy design, the tripods come equipped with quick adjustment flip locks, padded grip, 3-leg spread angle settings, retractable foot spikes and a bubble level on the top plate.

Four-Section Monopod with Fluid Base
Available in aluminium or carbon fibre, the monopod features four fully adjustable sections for maximum height, a cushioned grip, and flip lock legs for a more stable shooting experience. A pivoting fluid base with tripod foot allows for balanced and smooth swivelling and panning.

Table Top Tripod with Ballhead
Ideal for positioning lightweight cameras, lights and accessories – up to 4lbs – the tripod is suitable for small point and shoot photo and video cameras, action camera users, and lighting technicians. A camcorder, compact camera, GoPro, strobe or small LED light panel can be mounted with exact control. It is available in 14" or 16.5" models, with the ability to adjust the height. The tripod has heavy duty load bearing legs and can be collapsed down for storage and transport.

Three-Way Head with Quick Release
The 3-Way Head for tripods offers independent camera control on three different planes, making it ideal for exacting photographers shooting product, landscape, architecture and commercial work.

M1 Mini Ballhead
Designed to add comfortable adjustment to any mount, this product is suited for action camera users and lighting technicians and is ideal for precise positioning of GoPro cameras, strobes or small LED light panels. It offers ballhead freedom with 360-degree rotation.

Pistol Grip Ballhead
The Pistol Grip Ballhead is ideal for professional photographers looking griphead adjustment when shooting portrait, landscape, still life and products. It allows for a precisely composed image – even with a heavy camera and lens combo – and enables easy and secure one-handed adjustments, leaving the other hand free to zoom, focus, balance the camera and make other necessary adjustments.

T1 Tilthead with Quick Release
This allows users to adjust the camera 180 degrees on a single axis, suitable when photographing with a monopod to orient for vertical shots or for video tilt to pan up and down.

Q3 Fluid Video Head
A videography head designed for cinematography setups such as cinema camcorders, video rigs, DSLRs and ILCs, the 3Pod Fluid Video Head can support a maximum load of 15lbs. The head features separate pan and tilt fluid friction controls, a bubble level on the base for perfect pans, a sliding quick release plate with safety lock for balancing a rig, an angle adjustable ambidextrous handle for stable control, and a padded grip. Separate tilt friction and lock controls allow the head to revert to the same tilt tension after unlocking.

Q2 Lightweight Fluid Video Head
This videography head has been designed for lightweight setups such as camcorders, DSLRs and ILCs. It can support up to 11lbs and is ideal for cinematographers using monopods or tripods.

Abe Eherenfeld, global sourcing manager, Adorama, said: "The new tripods and heads from 3Pod are absolute necessities for the every day photo or video shooter – these are your bread and butter working tools. The Orbit Overhead Shot System allows for a variety of shots you just can't get from a typical tripod. The tripod heads are super functional and meet the needs of portrait and product photographers who don't want plain ballheads. And the video heads can be mounted to any monopod, tripod or rail. The price points on these products combined with the functionality, usability and quality they offer really can't be beat."
