SUMMARY
3 Legged Thing has introduced a modular tripod system, the James and Jason, designed to consolidate the functions of various specialized tripods. This system allows users to swap out legs, feet, and canopies, enabling configurations for travel, studio, filmmaking, and even monopod or boom pole use. The system offers two canopy options, one focused on portability and the other on strength, both supporting up to 30 kgs. Three types of carbon fiber legs are available, varying in section count for different heights and portability, and the system can be used as a tabletop tripod without legs. The launch also includes a new Airhed Orbit ball head and is being funded via Kickstarter.
