3 Legged Thing Ridley Levelling Base Tripod- Grey

Precision Levelling for Video, Wildlife & Outdoor Creators

The 3 Legged Thing Ridley Levelling Base Tripod is a professional-grade carbon fibre tripod engineered for filmmakers, content creators, birdwatchers and photographers who need maximum stability on any terrain. Featuring a built-in 10° levelling base, premium carbon fibre construction and detachable legs, Ridley offers exceptional versatility whether you're shooting in the studio or on location.

Built from 8-layer carbon fibre and aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, the Ridley combines outstanding strength with a lightweight design, supporting equipment weighing up to 14kg while remaining easy to transport.

Built-in Levelling Base

The integrated levelling base provides 10° of adjustment in every direction, allowing you to level your camera quickly without adjusting each tripod leg individually.

A rotating spirit level ring ensures the bubble remains visible even when a camera is mounted, making setup faster and more accurate.

The levelling base features both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting options, making it compatible with cameras, tripod heads and clamps.

Professional Carbon Fibre Construction

Ridley features 3-section legs constructed from premium 8-layer carbon fibre tubing, delivering exceptional rigidity while keeping weight to just 1.67kg.

The large 29mm maximum leg diameter provides excellent stability for heavy camera rigs, spotting scopes and video equipment.

Flexible Shooting Positions

The tripod offers three leg angle positions:

• 23°
• 55°
• 80°

This allows shooting from full working height down to almost ground level for creative low-angle compositions.

Virtually silent twist-lock leg latches make adjustments quick while reducing unwanted noise during wildlife observation or video recording.

Detachable Multi-Purpose Legs

Each of Ridley's three legs can be removed and used independently as:

• Monopods
• Support booms
• Tabletop tripod legs (when paired with optional 3 Legged Thing Vanz footwear)

This modular design adds exceptional flexibility for creators working in different environments.

Designed for Stability

Ridley incorporates several features that improve stability outdoors, including:

• Angled rubber leg lock pads that help reduce wind vibration
• Durable Rubber Bootz feet for excellent grip
• Dual hook beneath the levelling base for hanging a camera bag or tethering the tripod to the ground

The removable hook also conceals an integrated 4mm Allen (Hex) key for convenient adjustments in the field.
