3 Legged Thing – Buy photography products & accessories – Direct from the experts
3 Legged Thing develops tripods and accessories for photographers and filmmakers who rely on stability, precision craftsmanship and flexible applications. The British brand is known for its well-thought-out designs and a clearly structured system that can be adapted to different camera setups. At Foto Siegl, you’ll find a selection of 3 Legged Thing products – from tripods and tripod heads to L-brackets and quick-release plates for a technically coordinated tripod system.
3 Legged Thing – British tripod systems with a modular concept
3 Legged Thing was founded in the UK in 2010 and develops modular tripod systems for photography and videography. From the outset, founder Danny Lenihan pursued the idea of designing tripods, heads and accessories as a technically coordinated system that can be flexibly expanded.
Today, the systems are used in a variety of fields – from travel photography, through landscape and architecture, to stable setups for video recording or heavy telephoto lenses.
Typical features of 3 Legged Thing include:
- modular system design for customisable tripod solutions
- consistent Arca-Swiss compatibility for heads, plates and L-brackets
- high-quality materials such as carbon fibre and precision-machined metal components
- clearly structured ranges for different applications
The 3 Legged Thing tripod series – categorised by application
3 Legged Thing divides its tripods into several series. They differ primarily in design, materials and load capacity.
| Series | Material & Construction | Example models | Application profile | System features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legends | Carbon construction, some with levelling base | Bucky, Jay, Mike, Ray | Landscape, architecture, video, heavy camera-lens combinations | High load capacity, optionally with AirHed VU or AirHed Cine, precise alignment even for video |
| Pro 2.0 | Carbon travel tripods with compact folding mechanism | Albert 2.0, Leo 2.0 | Travel, outdoor, flexible use with system or DSLR cameras | Large maximum working height with compact pack size, modular construction |
| Punks | Aluminium and carbon variants | Billy 2.0, Brian 2.0, Corey 2.0, Patti 2.0, Travis 2.0 | Travel, street, all-round photography | Often available as a kit with AirHed Neo or Trinity, lightweight, versatile configuration |
In addition to classic tripods, 3 Legged Thing offers the Trent monopod as a solution for dynamic applications. It expands the system with a compact alternative to the tripod.
AirHed tripod heads – tailored for photo & video applications
3 Legged Thing complements its tripods with its own AirHed tripod heads. All models are Arca-compatible and designed to meet various requirements in the photography and video sectors.
| Model | Design | Typical use | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| AirHed Pro | Ball head | Landscape, architecture, telephoto, long exposure | Compact, high load capacity, finely adjustable friction |
| AirHed Pro Lever | Ball head with lever clamp | Fast working, frequent position changes | Quick Arca clamping via lever, precise fixation |
| AirHed VU | Ball head | Complex setups, heavy combinations | Viewing window showing the mechanism, very sturdy construction |
| AirHed Cine | Video head | Video, pans, controlled movements | Smooth pan and tilt movements, cinema-oriented design |
The AirHed heads can be combined directly with the 3 Legged Thing tripod series and expand the system to include different working methods – from the classic ball head to the video head.
L-brackets & quick-release system – precise alignment without modification
L-brackets and quick-release plates expand the 3 Legged Thing system with precise connecting elements between the camera, tripod head and tripod.
L-brackets – a perfect fit between camera and tripod
3 Legged Thing L-brackets allow for a quick switch between portrait and landscape orientation without having to reposition the camera in the room.
Characteristic features of 3 Legged Thing L-brackets are:
- precise CNC-machined metal constructions
- consistent Arca-Swiss compatibility
- form-fitting design for a secure fit on the camera body
- unrestricted access to the battery compartment and ports
- seamless integration with AirHed heads
The range of models includes both universal solutions and camera-specific variants. These are precisely tailored to specific camera bodies and ensure a stable connection between the camera and tripod – even with larger lenses.
Quick-release plates as a functional addition
Various Arca-compatible base and quick-release plates are also available. They ensure:
- secure clamping in the tripod head
- quick assembly and disassembly
- flexible combinations within the system
In combination with the AirHed heads, this creates a seamless workflow without the need for adapters or third-party systems. The entire setup remains consistent and technically well-coordinated.
