National Geographic and Manfrotto have teamed up to bring a world of experience to photographic accessories. The new line -- introduced at CES 2006 -- includes a collection of tripods, heads, monopods and gear bags ideal for photographic professionals and amateurs alike.
Easy to use and engineered to endure the most extreme conditions, the National Geographic photo and video supports are licensed and designed by Manfrotto, the world?s most renowned brand for professional photo and video equipment. Two separate lines, NG Expedition and NG Tundra, offer a variety of products that set new standards in tripod technology.
The NG tripod family -- composed of two tripods and two heads -- was field-tested by National Geographic photographers and engineered to withstand the most extreme environments.
The NG Expedition NGET1 is the world?s only fully automatic tripod. It features a patented column mechanism, designed for low-angle macro photography, enabling the column to be mounted horizontally. The carbon fiber and magnesium NGET2 also features the laterally mounted column and is extremely lightweight and portable.
The NG Expedition ball heads are the only heads in the world to offer a protective bellows system. This feature prevents dirt and debris from entering the mechanisms of the head, offering use of the NG Expedition in any environment. Additionally, the NG Expedition ball heads feature hydrostat technology. Developed exclusively by Manfrotto, hydrostat technology uses fluid pressure to securely lock the camera with minimal effort.
The NG Tundra family of products, composed of three tripod kits, is designed for first-time digital photographers and avid outdoor enthusiasts.
The NGTT1 ball head tripod kit features a compact design, is lightweight and portable. The NGTT2 three-way head and tripod kit offers an ultra-small, three-way head that can be used for both photo and video equipment. Finally, the NGTM1 Tundra monopod features a removable ball head and folds to an extremely portable length, making it extremely convenient for travel.
