Professional Carbon Tripod for Maximum Stability on the Go
The C5i Carbon Photo Tripod was developed for photographers and content creators who need a lightweight, compact, yet extremely stable tripod. Ideal for travel, outdoor use, and demanding shots with full-frame cameras – without adding extra weight to your luggage.
Carbon Construction: Lightweight, Stiff, and Low Vibration
The tripod legs are made of multi-layered carbon, combining low weight with high stiffness. This effectively reduces vibrations – ideal for razor-sharp images, long exposure times, and precise video recordings.
Load Capacity 8 kg: Secure for Full-Frame Setups
Despite its lightweight construction, the C5i Carbon Tripod supports up to 8 kg. This makes it ideal for full-frame cameras, telephoto lenses, and extensive setups – ensuring maximum safety for every shot.
Packed Size 44 cm: Ideal for Travel
With a packed size of only 44 cm and a weight of 1.28 kg including the ball head, the tripod is approximately 20% lighter than the aluminum version. It can be easily transported in a backpack or attached to the outside – perfect for mobile photo and video projects.
Intuitive Setup: Grippy and Reliable
The twist locks with non-slip rubber coating enable quick setup and secure locking of the tripod legs. Even with gloves or in wet conditions, operation remains comfortable and precise.
360° Ball Head: Quick & Precise Adjustment
The 360° ball head allows for smooth panoramic pans and precise camera alignment. Thanks to Arca-Swiss compatibility, it is ideal for panorama, landscape, and architectural photography.
Secure Grip: Spikes + Rubber Feet
Interchangeable spikes ensure a firm footing on soft or uneven ground. Rubber feet provide additional stability on smooth surfaces – for reliable grip in any environment.
Monopod Function: Quickly Convertible
One tripod leg can be converted into a fully functional monopod in just a few steps. Ideal for dynamic sports, nature, or video shots when speed and freedom of movement are crucial.
Extended Features: Divisible Centre Column & Smartphone Holder
The divisible centre column allows for low-level perspectives for macro and low-angle shots. The included smartphone holder makes the tripod instantly ready for mobile photo and video recording.
A well-designed carbon tripod for anyone who doesn't want to compromise on stability and quality while on the go.
