With the introduction of their four new Pro-Series Tripod Kits, ZEISS has corrected everything you never liked about a tripod.
Created from the ground up, ZEISS Pro-Series Tripod Kits have addressed all the drawbacks inherent to existing tripods, achieving new levels of ruggedness, stability, rapid setup and user friendliness. For example, ZEISS’ single-point leg adjustment, found on the MAX-DUTY models, fully extends—or collapses—each leg with a quarter turn of an oversized, easy-to-grip twist lock. No more fumbling with multiple adjustments on each leg, which consumes time and makes simple leveling difficult.
Strength and reliability begin with those legs, built with ten layers of rigid carbon fiber connected to an aluminum framework. All Pro-Series Tripod Kits include Arca-Swiss mounting systems, the most widely accepted, most secure such system in the world. This allows rapid, reliable and easily interchangeable mounting of a myriad of devices, including the ZEISS tripod accessories.
Unusual in the industry is that ZEISS is marketing the Pro-Series as fully complete kits. “Most premium tripods are sold bare bones,” according to Kyle Brown, ZEISS director of marketing/product. “You pay a premium price, but then still must spend hundreds more on a ballhead and other components just for basic operation. We believe that when you purchase a top-tier tripod, your investment should deliver everything you need to get started as a complete package. That is why all Pro-Series tripods come as full kits.” Read more
