The Tripod System of the fourth dimension
Modularity Stability Flexibility Strength QuadroPod速
The Tripod System of the fourth dimension The new QuadroPod™ system doesn‘t just convince with its amazing simple operation but with a new unknown stability and a worldwide unique flexibility of the modular choice of expandability. With four legs it stands stable on every ground. The exchangeable tripod legs and the adaptable accessoires allow the use in every possible situation perfectly. Thanks to its accurate production an advance into a new dimension of bearing capacity has been made. In other words: the QuadroPod™ is a revolutionary tripod system for all ambitious photographers – a tripod system of the fourth dimension. QuadroPod™
Solid on all fours The QuadroPod™ doubles its steadiness and stability against overturning compared to the classic tripods due to its four-leg technique. First of all the three legs will be placed on the ground and then the fourth still pending leg will be adjusted by pushing it gently down to the ground – and yet all four legs are standing rock-solid on the floor. Based on the construction the QuadroPod™ is extremly twisting and oscillation resistent, a convenient advantage which every professional photographer will know to appreciate. By the way, the QuadroPod™ is despite its four legs not heavier than any compareable tripod. QuadroPod™
Flexible in all directions The QuadroPod™ system offers three different basic modules as the core of the whole system, a classic base, a base with center pillar and a variable base with the possibility to change from a classic three-leg tripod to a modern four-leg technique. The choice of different tripod legs, made of carbon or aluminium, and available in variable lengths permits to adapt the QuadroPod™ base to a perfect tripod system in totally different situations. At the ends of the tripod legs additional equipment like suction mounts, clamps and ground spikes can be mounted to assure that the QuadroPod™ stands stable also in exceptional locations. Further equipment for the system is in preparation. QuadroPod™
Stable with System
At the heart of the QuadroPod™ are different basic elements with four tripod-leg mounts. The ‚Basic‘-version (QP B) consists of a very stable platform which can be used to fit any tripod-head. Similar but with a height adjustable center column is the version QP C. The premium model ‚Variable‘ (QP-V) allows the professional photographer to convert the four-legged QuadroPod™ into a classic three-leg-tripod by changing the angle of the legs. QuadroPod™
Variable with System
Each of the QuadroPod‘s™ legs can be securely attached to a variety of new stable points. This permits absolute security in exceptional situations for your equipment mounting/set-up. These precise positioning possibilities are especially easy with the built-in bubble level. When used close to the ground, the center column can be reversed, or the QuadroPod™ can be set up with the short legs as an ideal tripod for macro-photography. QuadroPod™
Modular with System Incredibly different are the applications of a tripod, opened for use on the floor then as small as possible in your flight luggage. Novoflex™ offers for each QuadroPod™ design a different choice of variable carbon or aluminium tripod legs for the classic use of a tripod, very short or extremely long aluminum legs for a specific use or Novoflex’s strong but lightweight hiking poles. Additional leg types will be added to the program in the future. QuadroPod™
Flexible with System
Being a professional system, QuadroPods™ offer a variety of new and previously unavailable add-on features: Additional accessories with a standard thread can be mounted at the end of each tripod-leg to provide, even in extreme exposure situations, a stable base. Currently suction cup mounts, clamps and ground spikes are available. Further equipment will be available shortly. QuadroPod™
