Description
A Landscape Before Time...

3 Legged Thing Charles 2.0 is an incredibly stable tripod that's ideal for landscape, astrophotography, studio work and more. Charles 2.0 is quick and easy to set up with 3-section legs and a single section column. Charles 2.0 boasts an impressive 18:1 load to weight ratio thanks to its 40kg / 88lb load capacity.

Reaching New Heights

With a maximum height of 1.85m / 72.8" Charles 2.0 is as capable as it is strong. The removable / reversible centre column means that photographers can shoot from above, or right down at ground level.

Not one, not two, but three

Charles 2.0 is as versatile as his Pro Range counterparts, and features 3 detachable legs that double as camera or microphone booms. Alternatively, all 3 legs can be detached, and with the addition of 3LT footwear, can be converted to a tabletop tripod.

Charles 2.0 Magnesium Alloy Tripod System for studio & landscapes: The Features


Modular Functionality

Not only a tripod, Charles 2.0 can also be used as a light stand, a stabilised monopod, a table-top tripod, or for macro set-ups thanks to his 3 detachable legs.

Max Load to Weight Ratio of 18:1

Charles 2.0 is capable of supporting loads up to 18 times his weight. With a 40kg payload. 

Knurled Knobs

Pro Range 2.0 tripods, including Charles, now have knurled caps on the leg locks, and column lock, as well as on the AirHed Pro available in Charles 2.0 kits. The knurling creates a grippier surface enabling users to apply greater leverage when loosening or tightening.

Parallel Locking

3 Legged Thing's unique Parallel Locking system provides better leverage, and greater rigidity, without the hassle of accidental disassembly.

Multiple Mounting Points

Our patented Tri-Mount plate offers multiple threaded connections and three hollowed spurs for accessory attachments and has refined contouring for ease of use.

A Range of Footwear

Charles 2.0 has detachable rubber Bootz, which can be replaced with any of our foot accessories, for maximum stability on any terrain.
