Tripod News

MeFOTO has launched a new line of compact, rugged tripods that feature a Bluetooth remote, a precision ball head, a secure leg-lock system, and removable center columns for taking selfies. The versatile "Air" tripods (and a monopod) are available in three sizes, and all come with a spring-loaded phone adapter for selfies.

The rechargeable Bluetooth remote docks on to the tripods and facilitates long exposures, stop motion, and self-portraits. All units feature MeFOTO’s Hyper Lock system that enables you to adjust each leg section with one locking mechanism per leg, reducing the setup and breakdown time.

The tripods and monopods are available in a choice of colors (black, titanium, orange, purple, green and red), and are manufactured using anodized aluminum. The three tripods range in maximum height from 37.4 to 45.1 inches, with prices from $125 to $225. The monopod has a maximum height of 59.1 inches and costs $65. All will be available on November 1.
