Description

For photographers who need greater versatility in a travel tripod that extends to great heights and gets down to ground level.

  • Huge range of working heights from ground level up to 1.90 m / 74.80 “
  • 3 detachable legs enable conversion to monopods or table-top tripod
  • The multi-section centre column provides extra height when needed, yet enables the tripod to fold to a compact size for transportation

Here to win.

Bucky is the seventh iteration of our unique and iconic 5-leg section 3-column section tripod configuration. The most versatile and functional travel tripod on the planet.

Rallying

Bucky is a tribute to the unconventional cornerstone of 3LT’s tripod design. With 5 section legs and triple section removable column, Bucky has one of the largest dynamic working ranges of any tripod.

Vert

With a maximum height of 1.90 m / 74.80 ” and the ability to get as low as 11.6 cm / 4.56 ” Bucky is truly a vert specialist.

Record Breaker

Imagine a tripod that is so modular it has completely removable column and legs – then imagine multiple mounts, a sexy new tri-mount design, and leg locks designed to be useable with thick gloves, or impaired mobility. Then stop imagining, and look.

Tripod Key Features:
  • Built For Travel –  At just 41cm / 16.14 ” folded, and weighing just 1.87 kg / 4.12 lb, Bucky is a travel companion, that’s built for professionals.

Brand

3 Legged Thing

3 Legged Thing was founded by Danny Lenihan back in 2010.

It all started in a Chicken Shed, in Stagsden, Bedfordshire. Danny had a small UK lighting business and a commercial photography studio. A collector of gear, Danny had half a dozen tripods, all for different purposes, and it was this that inspired him to design something truly different. Having already brought to market two tripods, for studio use, Danny set about designing what would become an industry benchmark in camera support technology.
