The 3-section leg design

The Epoch's 3 rigid leg sections are made from modern, high-strength, thin-wall aluminium.

The Collar and Column

Spring-loaded aluminium push buttons on the Epoch's collar allow you to independently adjust each leg to one of 3 possible positions.

Legs, locks and column

Fewer leg sections mean fewer joints and greater strength, and the aluminium legs are lightweight.

The three rigid leg sections measure 28mm, 25mm, 22mm in diameter. Each leg has two locks, and both twist locks open and close together, so each leg can be extended in seconds. The legs have a light silver finish, and one leg has a soft grip for carrying.

The two-piece column is reversible. Weight hook for stability sits at the bottom of the column.

Head and mounting

The 4-way head provides 360° panning at both the base and the top, with scales on all four movements and three bubble levels. The Dovetail (arca-type) quick release is compatible with L-brackets and telephoto lenses. The collar has a 3/8 inch-16 accessory connection port, and the feet can be swapped for All Terrain Feet.

Each axis has its own controls, which suits macro and architectural work where precision is needed.
