Versatile Magnesium Tripod Kit

The Charles 2.0 kit from 3 Legged Thing is a professional magnesium alloy tripod system with an AirHed Pro ballhead. It is built for photographers who need a single support for landscape, studio and astrophotography work. The kit includes an Arca-Swiss compatible head with 360 panning and a quick release plate. It supports up to 40kg of camera equipment.

Three Leg Angles and Detachable Legs

This kit replaces separate tripod, monopod and table-top supports by offering three leg angles at 23, 55 and 80 degrees plus three detachable legs. The design allows shooting close to ground level and extending to almost 2m. Parallel Locks reduce the chance of accidental disassembly during use. The matte black Darkness finish completes the package.

Photographers Needing One Adaptable System

The kit suits photographers who want a single magnesium alloy system that converts between tripod, monopod and table-top configurations with high load capacity. It is not for users who require a dedicated video fluid head, a carbon fibre construction or a lighter travel-specific tripod. Buyers needing integrated levelling bases or specialised macro rails should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What leg-angle settings does the Charles 2.0 tripod offer for low-level shooting?

The tripod provides three leg-angle positions at 23, 55 and 80 degrees, letting you drop the centre column close to the ground for macro or landscape work.

How do I attach the AirHed Pro ball head and avoid the common mistake of a loose quick-release plate?

Screw the Arca-Swiss compatible head onto the 3/8‑inch stud, then tighten the quick-release clamp fully before mounting the camera — many users forget the final clamp turn and risk the plate sliding.

When should I disassemble the Parallel Locks and leg sections for cleaning?

Take the tripod apart after sandy, salty or muddy shoots; the Parallel Locks and detachable legs are designed for tool-free removal so you can rinse and dry every joint before reassembly.
