About this deal
High performance twist locks and magnesium castings make the Mach 3 fit for indoor or outdoor photo shoots.
A hook on the bottom of the center column allows for the addition of stabilizing weight, and the included carrying case protects the tripod during transport. Raising the centre column (which I have done, despite the height) is as easy as a twist of the big blue collar and then pull.
I'm using a Manfrotto 475B now and there's a bit more bounce than I'd like even with the elevator column fully down and locked with the thumbscrew. Being a landscape photographer based in Dorset, I have subjected the Mach 3 to all sorts of weather conditions.
There’s one of those pull out hook thingies at the bottom of the centre column for hanging bags on to help stabilize it even more. Welcome to BirdForum, the internet's largest birding community with thousands of members from all over the world.There is something very humbling when your carrying everything you need on your back for a few days in the mountains. It does exactly what I want, is not actually that much of a burden to carry on my bag, is a thing of beauty to look at, is rock solid and tall. What I need is a 7 foot leg to reach down from the top of rocks to get the composition I’m hankering for. As part of our most advanced range of photo tripods, the Mach3 TMA37C combines classic design with advanced materials.
