Leofoto just announced a tripod that goes to 2.9m high…

I dunno about you, but a tripod that extends to 2.9m high has never appeared on my wish list

Maybe if I was on a staircase and wanted two legs several stairs down?

What uses might you imagine for it?

I suppose you might mount a camera in it to shoot “behind the scenes” footage?

I do think it’s impressive that they made it pack down to 750mm, and around 3.5kg.

A lot of Highland landscape photographers want tall tripods. Often shooting on hillside gradients necessitates one leg being extended a lot further than the others. They also need rock solid steady due to the weather conditions up there.

That is huge though.
