Three Opening Angles

Each leg mount is equipped with a "Lock Lever" to lock leg position at either of [high], [middle] or [low] positions. Each leg can be set to different opening angles to make an elevator column vertical even in uneven or rough sea ground.
Friction when opening/closing legs can be adjusted by tightening/loosening fixing bolts on joints.

Center Column Type Elevator

The center column type elevator consists of two parts. Removing lower elevator enables to put combined camera position down close to the ground when opening angle is set to low position.
Remove the Lower Elevator Column You can get lower height. Extra "Lower Elevator" can be jointed on the original Lower Elevator to extend total height at 145mm/5.7in.
It is also possible to hang down a camera system by attaching the elevator upside-down for extremely low angle shooting or shooting a subject just underneath of the tripod.

2-Way Ferrule (rubber/spike)

Bundled "2-Way Ferrule" offers two configurations either rubber or spike tip. Ferrules are to be screwed on ball-joints on tripod leg edges. Turning rubber parts upwards will have spike tips to accommodate to different circumstances.

More Stability with Weight

There are several options to enhance stability of the tripod system including hanging a dive weight from the strap hole or jointing a dive weight by using a ball-joint on a tripod leg besides using a stone bag.

Underwater tripod system option “Ferrule Ball Set (contains 3)” code 4562121439269

Having another ball and clamp between tripod leg and "2-way Ferrule" supplied with the UW Tripod Hub, works as a joint of the "2-way Ferrule" to enhance stable placement of the tripod.

*Three of “Clamp III”are optionally required.

The angle of the ferrule can be freely adjusted so that the ferrule can be firmly grounded and stabilized even in unstable rocky areas with dips or slopes.

The 2-way Ferrule can configure either rubber or spike depending on circumstances when shooting.
