Overview

The Eclipse Albert Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod from 3 Legged Thing is an updated variant of the original Albert tripod. Identical in nearly every way, the Eclipse series only differs from the Equinox through the use of Gunmetal Gray colored fittings instead of the classic blue and bronze. The Albert Eclipse features five leg sections that can extend to a maximum height of 70.5" and also go as low as 5". At the 23° angle leg spread, which is considered a normal stance, the tripod can support a maximum of 66 lb. (The legs have two additional wider stances, and these will support less weight.) The twist lock's Para-lock feature works by restricting the opening movement of the friction lock, preventing you from accidentally unscrewing the lock until the leg section detaches.
