Can I use this tripod on a beach?

The tripod has a maximum working height of 1.5 meters.

Is the tripod made of carbon fiber?

No, the 3 Legged Thing Jude is constructed from high-quality magnesium alloy.

Are the feet replaceable?

Troubleshooting

Leg locks feel loose or slip during use

Ensure the twist locks are turned firmly in the clockwise direction until they stop, and clean any dust or grit from the leg threads.

Tripod is uneven on flat ground

Check that the mid-level spreader is fully extended and that all leg sections are locked at the same segment markers.

Difficulty installing the video head

Verify that your video head is compatible with a 75mm bowl mount and that the tie-down bolt is tightened securely from underneath.

Care Instructions:
