The Induro Adventure Series TriPod Kits have become one of the most popular series of triPods on the market today.While they were conceived with the budget-conscious photographer in mind, a close look will show that no compromises were made in the materials, design or construction. The AKP-series is built to the same standards as top-of-the-line Induro professional triPods. The series consists of three models - the compact four leg section AKP0, and the heavy-duty three leg section AKP1 and AKP2. For ease of operation, the triPod legs feature flip lock legs and a unique three-way panhead with quick release plate and folding handles that allows precise camera positioning and easy transport. Using the latest materials available - magnesium for the spider (the heart of any triPod) and strong, industrial quality aluminum alloy for the legs - Induro has created an outstanding triPod outfit that will provide a lifetime of use. Each Adventure series kit includes a deluxe carrying bag with strap.
