Trek-Tech Essentials – Camera and Video Stabilzation that Fits in a Carry-On
In today’s travel world of tighter airline security and carry-on restrictions, Trek-Tech designed The Essentials to help traveling photographers bring the stabilization gear they need to take their photography and video work to the next level. The Essentials packs a monopod, tripod, hiking staff, table-top tripod, pan and tilt video head and a versatile clamping arm into a single compact bag that fits in a carry-on.
The Essentials: The Art and Science of Traveling Light
The kit includes:
The TrekPod GO! Pro combining a monopod, tripod and hiking staff into a versatile multipurpose tool.
The lightweight TrekPod GO! PRO gives photographers and video shooters a definite advantage over handheld shooting. Incredibly versatile, it can be used as a hiking staff that quickly sets up as a monopod or tripod. TrekPod GO! PRO only weighs 28 oz. and breaks down to 23 inches and can fit in standard carry-on luggage. The footprint takes up significantly less space than a conventional tripod in transport and in use. As a monopod, the TrekPod eliminates vertical movement and serves as a pivot point. Three legs easily fold out to create a lightweight tripod. The TrekPod GO! PRO fits where conventional tripods won’t and gives photographer a steadier base than a monopod.
A durable and lightweight Pan & Tilt video head attaches to the TrekPod. It swivels 360-degrees and can be tilted forward and backwards for quickly and precisely aligning shots. The pan & tilt head fits on a standard ¼-20 threaded stud or a 3/8th stud.
The Optimount Clamping Arm is like having an extra hand for steadying cameras, lights, flashes or other photo and video gear. It quickly attaches to the TrekPod GO! PRO (or any tripod leg up to 1 ¼” in diameter) and includes a standard ¼ – 20 threaded stud suitable for attaching ball heads, hot shoe, or cold shoe.
The Trek-Tech T-Pod: The Rock Solid Versatile Table Top Tripod The T-Pod is very versatile and high quality table top tripod which comes complete with ball head, quick release system (MagMount STAR) and travel pouch. The T-Pod with the upper tube attached adjusts from 10″ to 13.5″ in height. The ball head may also be connected directly to the legs creating a very stable platform which is 4″ high. In this configuration, the T-Pod will hold a large camera with up to a 500mm lens.
The MagMount Quick Release Ball Head The kit includes the newest MagMount, the MagMount PRO Ball Head. The MagMount PRO ball head is Trek-Tech’s patented quick release system that mounts point & shoot, video camera and DSLRs in a fraction of a second and easily adapts to ¼-20 and 3/8-16 mounting studs.
The MagMount PRO is a full featured ball head with an innovative quick release system that uses powerful earth magnets and a rotating locking arm to securely attach cameras as large as the Canon 5D, Nikon D300, or Pentax K20. SD and Compact Flash memory cards can be used safely because these storage devices are immune to magnetic fields.
