The keychain tripod tool that #3LeggedThing provided with my tripod lets me adjust everything that might need adjustment on the products! I mean, they built it that way but at least they give you one when you go north of $100! And they ship from the US as a British company because they are apparently smart people!

Why do I buy my tripod hardware from #3LeggedThing?

A camera mount with the words "Forged in the fiery depths of Stagsden, England" in a location that you can't see at all when the mount is in use.

3 Legged Thing Launches New Set of its ‘Punks’ Range of Tripods

3 Legged Thing has recently announced a refreshed line of its Punks range of tripods. The Corey, Travis, Billy, and Brian models have all been upgraded to version 2.0 with a new look and the promise of improved stability.

The new line, called Punks 2.0, includes four variations on a similar tripod design that all feature detachable legs for easy conversion to monopods or booms. The company also offers the addition of its Vanz feet to make them easily transform into tabletop tripods.

Each Punks 2.0 tripod has a "refreshed" look with what the company describes as "chunkier" leg locks that lower the overall center of gravity and supposedly contribute to greater stability. The leg locks have a new external design that combines rubber pads and knurling and offers users improved grip and leverage which ensures the legs can be tightened even in wet conditions or slippery conditions.

Internally, Punks 2.0 tripods now have the same anti-rotation "Chicken Lips" (otherwise known as shims) found in 3 Legged Thing's Pro Range 2.0 and Legends tripods. The company says that these give the legs greater rigidity when extended.

The company's patented tri-mount plate on top of the center column has supposedly been refined with a new design that 3 Legged Thing says is ideal for attaching accessories or for assisting with cable management. Additionally, the tripod canopies all now include an integrated 1/4-20 thread, ideal for attaching an accessory arm in order to mount a light or monitor to the tripod. These changes apply across all four tripods. The set also has a screw-in D-ring in the base of the center column that can be used to hang a weight or bag to provide extra stability when needed.

The Corey is an ultra-compact travel tripod. The Brian is more suited to photographers who want the same stability but in a larger size without an equal amount of weight added, as it is made from carbon fiber. The Travis is the company's "general use" tripod that is suitable for a variety of different photography genres and the Billy offers the same structure as Travis, but is thanks to the use of carbon fiber. The Corey and Travis models have legs and a column that are formed from magnesium alloy.

All three tripods ship with a protective bag. The Corey and Travis are available for $240 while the Billy and Brian are available for $340 and $350 respectively. All options can be viewed on 3 Legged Thing's website.

‘Morally Toxic’ is a New Camera Bag Line from 3 Legged Thing

Morally Toxic is a new camera bag company that is billed as the brainchild of 3 Legged Thing founder Danny Lenihan. The company says that it has spent five years developing the line and innovating "carryology."

Morally Toxic says its name is a mixture of two ideas. "Morally" comes from its desire to achieve the highest standards without compromising proper working conditions during bag production, and "Toxic" refers to the company's choice to break with what it calls the "dull" and "corporate-looking" aesthetic of traditional bags. On that note, Toxic says that the "dystopian" collection is a callback to the origins of 3 Legged Thing and uses what it calls iconic artwork and intense design.

One of those innovations is what the company calls a "frog" pocket, which is a water-resistant wet/dry pocket that gives users a place to stash wet gear away from electronics. Inside, Toxic has added pocket dividers, which are dividers that contain integrated pockets that allow for the storage of clothes, cables, filters, and other small objects. This idea isn't new, as Lowepro had them in bags from several years ago, but the application is still not widespread.

The company is launching two bags as part called the Valkyrie -- a backpack -- and the Wraith -- a messenger. The Valkyrie will be available in 20L and 25L sizes and use YKK standard or Aquaguard zippers on all compartments to keep gear secure and include a "secret" stash pocket to stow money or a passport. The 20L fits up to a 13-inch laptop and the 25L fits up to a 15-inch laptop. The Wraith is available in 15L and 20L sizes and its front flap protect the two organizer pockets, that have counterflow zips to prevent side access or theft and houses a hidden pocket for those valuable items like cash and passports.

The company says that Valkyrie is built for comfort as the rear fascia features a three-point, air-flow back support system, with cushioned lumbar and scapula pads. Toxic says this was designed to allow air to flow freely, keeping users’ backs cool. The shoulder straps have been contoured to fit all body shapes and sizes, and feature thick, comfortable padding with air mesh. They feature both horizontal and vertical webbing, for the attachment of accessories. An adjustable chest strap adds security, and detachable padded waist straps are included for comfort and security on more challenging terrains.

The bag can hold additional gear on the outside with built-in tripod carry straps and a loop that holds the legs together while the user is walking. All straps stow when not needed, and a side pocket can carry drinks or similarly sized objects.

The Wraith has a laptop pocket, a rear panel that houses a luggage strap for connecting to suitcases or rollers, and the side features a mesh pocket for a water bottle or flask. The shoulder strap is made of woven nylon webbing and is finished with a detachable shoulder pad, with air mesh and silicone grips. It has a choice of side or rear attachment points to enable use as a messenger or sling-style bag. All D-rings and hardware are Duralock nylon and designed to withstand everyday professional use.

Toxic says that both feature a variety of innovations along with smart organization, premium comfort, and high-quality fabrics to create a product that is the "ultimate" in functionality and ease of use. Both bags use what the company calls its own unique jacquard (a type of textured fabric), which combines a vintage map of Toxic's home village, Stagsden, with a reptilian print. The company says that due to the woven pattern and the way the fabric is cut to tesselate, each bag will be unique.

The Wraith will retail for $210 and $220 for the medium and large sizes respectively, while the Valkyrie will cost $300 and $310 for its two size options. The bags are currently available for pre-order and will be available starting November 1.
