Lightweight and Rugged Camera Support
Calumet Photographic is proud to announce its new
8000 Series line of 8x carbon fiber tripods and monopods. These
extremely lightweight and rugged camera supports are the perfect field
companion for today’s serious outdoor and action photographer.
Lighter and stronger than their standard aluminum counterparts, these
amazing camera supports feature non-compromising 8x (eight layers) of
carbon fiber construction that provides the maximum strength and
stability at the minimum weight. Non-slip rubber leg locks offer fast
and secure height adjustments. In addition to providing superior support
and portability, they also offer quick setup, smooth operation, and
positive locking once in place. By utilizing the highest quality
materials and simplest engineering techniques, they are designed to
perform dependably under the most demanding of circumstances and
conditions.
Each Calumet 8000 Series 8x Carbon Fiber Tripod features a grooved
center column with a spring-loaded weight hook for added stability,
three foam leg covers for over-the-shoulder carrying comfort and rubber
feet with retractable stainless steel spikes.
Each Calumet 8000 Series 8x Carbon Fiber Tripod and Monopod come with a
convenient carrying case with shoulder strap and an impressive five-year
limited parts-and-labor warranty.

applications, there are four different tripods and two monopods from

Photo Quote: Very often people looking at my pictures say, 'You must have had to wait a long time to get that cloud just right (or that shadow, or the light).' As a matter of fact, I almost never wait, that is, unless I can see that the thing will be right in a few minutes. But if I must wait an hour for the shadow to move, or the light to change, or the cow to graze in the other direction, then I put up my camera and go on, knowing that I am likely to find three subjects just as good in the same hour. - Edward Weston
