3LT has added two new carbon fibre models, Nicky and Tommy, to their hybrid photo-video tripod line-up.

Named after skateboarders Nicky Guerrero and Tommy Guerrero, they feature some of the technologies previously seen with the Mike, Jay, Ray and Bucky tripods. Both models are made from 35mm thick carbon fibre tubing, making them the strongest and most stable tripods across the range. Each is supplied with both an interchangeable flat plate and a 75mm bowl mount. The flat plate has a 3/8-inch -16 thread to attach any AirHeds or any head compatible with this thread. A hook under the plate allows the carry case to be attached using the carabiner. A new ¼-inch-20 accessory mounting thread has been installed on the canopy under the spirit level to allow for a small monitor, microphone or light to be attached. Other features include Rapid Latch leg clamps, O-Pads for better grip and water displacement and detachable legs that enable table-top and low level conversion. Both are offered in Metallic Slate Grey.
