The 3 Legged Thing RIDLEY is an essential tool for professional photographers and videographers who require rapid setup on uneven terrain without sacrificing structural integrity. Its defining feature is a built-in 10-degree levelling base, which allows for micro-adjustments to horizon lines, making it perfect for landscape and video work. While it offers incredible versatility through its modular design, the three-section leg architecture means it has a slightly larger footprint when folded compared to five-section travel tripods.

Verify that all leg locks are tightened past the initial resistance point and ensure they are clean.
To set up the RIDLEY, unlock the leg locks with a simple quarter-turn and extend to your desired height. To utilize the levelling base, loosen the locking collar at the top of the apex, adjust your camera to the desired horizon, and re-tighten the collar securely.
Compatibility is broad due to standard mounting threads, making it suitable for almost all professional heads. For care, ensure the leg locks are kept free of sand and debris after location shoots. If exposed to salt water or heavy dust, wipe the tubes down with a damp cloth and allow them to fully air dry before collapsing them for storage. Avoid using lubricants on the carbon fibre tubes.
