The 3 Legged Thing WES Levelling Base Tripod is a versatile, high-performance support system ideal for landscape, architectural, and adventure photographers who require rapid setup on unpredictable terrain. Its standout feature is the integrated 10° levelling base, which allows users to quickly achieve a flat plane without tedious leg adjustments, though its five-section construction requires more frequent locking and unlocking compared to three-section alternatives.

With a 14kg load capacity, it is capable of supporting most mirrorless and DSLR systems, as well as some lighter cinema camera setups.
Yes, the WES uses standard industry threading that is compatible with most 3 Legged Thing footwear and accessories.
The tripod weighs 1.4kg, making it an excellent balance between durability and portability.
The maximum working height is 124cm.
The WES is typically sold as a set of legs with an integrated levelling base; a specific head may need to be purchased separately depending on the package.
Simply unscrew the designated leg from the main chassis, remove the rubber foot, and attach the foot to the bottom of the detached leg.
Disassemble the leg sections by unscrewing the locks, wipe them clean with a dry cloth, and remove any sand or debris before reassembling.
Adjust the tension control knob on the levelling base until the desired resistance is achieved, ensuring it is tightened adequately.
Verify that all five sections of each leg are fully locked and that the leg spread angles are set uniformly on a flat surface.
To set up the WES, unlock the leg sections by rotating the rubber grips, extend to your desired height, and lock them securely. The levelling base is adjusted using the tension knob on the top platform.
For compatibility, the tripod features a standard mounting screw suitable for most professional ball heads or fluid heads. When caring for your tripod, always wipe down the legs after use in wet, dusty, or sandy conditions to prevent grit from entering the leg locks. Avoid using heavy detergents; a simple damp cloth is usually sufficient. Periodically check that all screws are tight, and store the unit in its included carry bag when not in use.
