Freedom 360 Heavy-Duty Ball Tripod
The Freedom 360 is the king of small tripods. The main component is the aluminium hemisphere with 14 different 3/8" female connectors to allow for a wide variety of configurations and usage scenarios. The main body is produced by Novoflex in Germany, exclusively for Freedom360.
The tripod legs are heavy-duty aluminium and can be attached at three different angles with wide, medium and small footprint options. You can even choose a different angle for each leg to compensate for uneven terrain. The legs come with rubber ball feet that are held in place using a 3/8" set screw and therefore the balls can be detached. In addition there are three 90º holes at the equator to give you even more options to connect gear. The monopod (or weights) attach at the center of the hemisphere.
All aluminium parts are black anodized, and all setscrews are stainless steel, making the assembly quite corrosion resistant.
Usage Scenario
Use this Freedom 360 Heavy-Duty Ball Tripod as base, attach 3 stackable weights between the tripod and the monopod (Freedom 360 Long or Short Monopod, or Nodal Ninja Travel Pole) then attach your 360 system on top.
Alternate Usage Scenario
Alternate use (for traditional pole photography): place stackable weight on top of the tripod, attach a Nodal Ninja Rotator on top, then attach a pole (i.e. the Nodal Ninja Pole Series 2), and place your camera on top. With care and attention, 6m height is possible. Use your gear responsibly, we are not responsible for any damage caused.
