Product Description

Manufacturer Description

Bogen NGET2 tripod represents the top of the NG lightweight range, providing professional photographers with a tripod that is very light, compact, simple to use, high in quality, strong, and extremely versatile to position. To reduce the weight of the tripod without any compromises on stability and rigidity, the legs are made of unique, three-faceted carbon fiber tubes of 1.2-millimeter thickness combined with quick-action magnesium and resin lever locks. The top spider uses a patented design allowing the column to be mounted horizontally. The center column used in this tripod comes from the latest generation of aluminum and resin, which allows you to leave the head mounted on the center column when switching between low angle and normal shooting positions.

Great for:

• Leg lock release button closes the tripod or shortens each leg for perfect positioning.
• All-weather leg warmers provide protection for the hands.
• Four different leg angles (25, 43, 73, 90 degrees) are provided.
• Dual positioning center column.
• Low angle adapter built into the center column.
• Detachable carrying handle is included. Carrying strap can be used to support a counterweight.

The other NatGeo tripod (NGET1 National Geographic Expedition NeoTec Tripod) is half the price and much better.
