Explorer Photo & Video Ascent Tripod with EX-... Overview

The EX-ACROPROKIT Ascent Professional Carbon Fiber Tripod with EX-XL Head kit from Explorer Photo & Video combines a robust carbon fiber leg set with an extra-large ball head for supporting extremely heavy camera and lens combinations in the most difficult conditions.

Explorer Photo & Video EX-XL Epic Ball Head with Arca-Type Quick Release Plate (Extra Large)

The EX-XL Epic Ball Head from Explorer Photo & Video is an extra large-sized, lightweight travel ball head featuring a hollowed design that makes it up to 20% lighter than similar size heads. It has a load capacity of 88.2 pounds but weighs only 1.2 lb. A robust 52mm ball diameter makes it capable of supporting larger lenses while being compact enough to use with camera bodies and lens combinations of all sizes. The large main adjustment knob incorporates a friction control dial, and an independent pan lock knob allows the head to rotate on its base. The Arca-type quick release clamp is knob-tightened and includes an EX-60 quick release plate.

The Explorer EX-XL ball head is CNC-machined from an aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and anodized with an oxidation treatment that ensures a durable, high-quality finish.

Explorer Photo & Video EX-ACPRO Ascent Professional Carbon Fiber Tripod

The EX-ACPRO Ascent Professional Carbon Fiber Tripod from Explorer Photo & Video is a heavy-duty carbon fiber tripod suitable for larger photography setups where stability is the main objective. It's ideal for eliminating movement in windy conditions for landscape photographers, and just as ideal for impressive stability in the studio. The robust load capacity of up to 57.3 lb ensures high stability in a variety of shooting conditions, whether in the studio or out exploring the landscape. The 10-layer carbon fiber legs provide rigidity but keep weight low.

Each leg is attached to the tripod's collar via an offset leg joint that helps to evenly distribute heavy loads and maintain the tripod's rigidity. The joints and collar are constructed of lightweight anodized aluminum, which provides it with natural wear and corrosion resistance. Each of the three leg joints also features a variable angle stop that allows multiple shooting positions.

Additional weights or a camera bag can be mounted onto the ballast hook to add extra weight for windy conditions. The 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 accessory ports are integrated on the center junction to mount accessories such as the Explorer Sidekick magic arm, compact LED lights, microphones, or more. The flat mount features a 3/8"-16 stud that will accept most tripod heads. The interchangeable flat head mounting platform can be exchanged for the separately available EX-ACPROCC accessory center column if more height is required. The four leg sections extend to create a high maximum working height of 56.9" and collapse to a mere 20.5" for easy transport and storage. Independent leg spread and three available leg angle selections can be made to settle the tripod on uneven terrain and allow for super low-angle shooting from a height of 3.5" when the legs are splayed out.

Features
  • 10-layer carbon fiber construction provides high strength to weight ratio
  • Interchangeable flat base with ballast hook
  • Accessory EX-ACPROCC center column available separately
  • Four sections with twist leg locks
  • Independent leg spread
  • Three leg angles
