News

UK tripod manufacturer 3 Legged Thing has achieved an outstanding result at the 2017 Lucie Technical Awards, with its Equinox Leo Tripod winning “Best Tripod”.

To win this award really shows how the company has been driven forward by Founder and CEO Danny Lenihan. His aim has been to produce the best tripods on the market that not only rival but beat those produced by the big name manufacturers.

3 Legged Thing’s attention to detail when it comes to design, material and function has been recognised by the Lucie Awards, with the unique modular functionality of the Equinox Leo Tripod and AirHead Switch.

The micro travel tripod packs in the features, here’s just a few of the highlights; Max holding load of 30kg / 66lb, detachable Monopod leg / Microphone boom, Tri-plate mount, 12cm / 4.75” low level shooting, interchangeable feet and removable and reversible centre column.

The Lucie Technical awards honour companies and individuals who have innovated, inspired and advanced the photography industry that year. The awards were held in New York on the 25th of October.

Danny Lenihan was there to collect the award;

It’s been an incredible ride, these last couple of years. We’ve worked so hard as a company to be better in every way, innovating, and pushing the boundaries of function and design. To be recognised for this hard work is a tremendous honour, and a wonderful moment for me, both personally and professionally.

I designed Leo to really challenge the fabric of conventional thinking in tripod design, creating a product that could be more versatile than any other tripod in its class. That we achieved this, and won this prestigious award, as a small, British, camera support solution headquartered in a Chicken Shed on a farm in Bedfordshire, against the might of the biggest and most respected tripod companies in the world, is just incredible. It’s very humbling.
