Product Information

Full details

The 3 Legged Thing Wes kit is a professional-grade support system designed for content creators and videographers who require precision stability in unpredictable terrain. By combining an 8-layer carbon fibre tripod with the AirHed Cine CC fluid head, this kit offers a 10-degree levelling base to ensure perfectly horizontal shots even on uneven ground; however, users should note that the tripod’s five-section construction requires a brief adjustment period to master the locking mechanisms for rapid deployment.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the levelling base?

The levelling base allows you to adjust the horizon by 10 degrees without having to manually adjust the length of each tripod leg.

Can I use the tripod for stills photography?

Yes, while designed for video, the stability and build quality make it excellent for all types of photography, including long-exposure shots.

Is the fluid head removable?

Yes, the AirHed Cine CC can be removed if you wish to use a different head, provided it fits the standard mounting thread.

How do I maintain the carbon fibre legs?

Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the maximum weight this kit can hold?

The tripod is rated for a load capacity of up to 14kg.

Troubleshooting

Legs feel stiff or gritty when extending

Disassemble the leg locks, clean the threads with a soft brush, and apply a light, non-greasy lubricant if necessary.

Fluid head motion is jerky

Check if the pan or tilt locks are partially engaged; ensure the camera is properly balanced on the quick-release plate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated levelling base saves significant setup time on uneven terrain
  • Fluid video head provides smooth panning and tilting motion
  • Premium carbon fibre construction is lightweight yet highly durable
  • Versatile height range accommodates both macro and eye-level shooting

Cons

  • Five-section leg design requires more time to set up than three-section alternatives
  • Maximum height of 134.5cm may be too low for taller photographers
  • Requires professional handling to ensure fluid head calibration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Wes tripod, extend the legs to your desired height and tighten the locks securely. Use the levelling base dial at the top of the center column to fine-tune your horizon before locking it in place. The head is compatible with standard camera mounting plates.

Care instructions include:

  1. Always wipe down the carbon fibre legs after use in sandy or salty environments.
  2. Keep the fluid head free of debris to ensure smooth rotation.
  3. Regularly check the leg locks to ensure they are clean and free of grit.
  4. Store in a padded bag to prevent impact damage to the magnesium alloy joints.
