3 Legged Thing Ridley Levelling Base Tripod Kit Grey

Professional Carbon Fibre Tripod Kit with Fluid Video Head

The 3 Legged Thing Ridley Levelling Base Tripod Kit combines the versatile Ridley carbon fibre levelling base tripod with the AirHed Cine CC advanced fluid video head, creating a complete support system for content creators, videographers, wildlife photographers, birders and spotting scope users.

Built from 8-layer carbon fibre and aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, the Ridley tripod provides exceptional rigidity while remaining lightweight and portable. Paired with the smooth-operating AirHed Cine CC, the kit delivers professional pan and tilt performance for both video and observation.

Built-in 10° Levelling Base

Ridley features an integrated 10° levelling base, allowing you to quickly level your camera or video head without constantly adjusting the tripod legs.

A rotating spirit level ring ensures the bubble remains visible even with equipment mounted, making setup fast and accurate on uneven terrain.

The levelling base includes both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads for maximum compatibility.

AirHed Cine CC Fluid Video Head

Included with the kit is the AirHed Cine CC, an advanced fluid pan and tilt head designed for smooth, controlled camera movements.

Ideal for mirrorless cameras, compact cinema cameras and spotting scopes, it supports payloads up to 10kg and features:

• Independent pan and tilt controls
• Smooth 360° panning
• 165° tilt movement
• Retractable and detachable panning arm
• Left or right-hand operation
• Arca-Swiss compatible quick release system

The supplied XP100 Ultra Plate includes compatibility with the 3 Legged Thing XPAND system, a sliding camera screw sled with locator pin and a cable management hook for a secure setup.

Lightweight Carbon Fibre Construction

Ridley's premium 8-layer carbon fibre legs provide outstanding strength while keeping tripod weight to just 1.67kg.

Large 29mm diameter leg tubes maximise stability, making the tripod suitable for professional camera rigs and long telephoto lenses.

Flexible Shooting Positions

The tripod offers three adjustable leg angles:

• 23°
• 55°
• 80°

This allows comfortable shooting from full height down to almost ground level.

Quiet twist-lock leg latches make adjustments smooth and unobtrusive, ideal for filming or wildlife photography.

Modular Design

Each tripod leg can be detached for additional versatility and used as:

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

This modular system gives creators greater flexibility without carrying additional support equipment.

Built for Outdoor Use

Designed for challenging environments, Ridley includes:

• Angled rubber leg lock pads to minimise wind vibration
• Durable Rubber Bootz feet for secure footing
• Dual hook beneath the levelling base for hanging a bag or anchoring the tripod

The removable hook also conceals a built-in 4mm Allen (Hex) key for convenient field adjustments.
