Berlebach Mini Nature Tripod: The Berlebach Mini Nature Tripod is a compact, stable tripod made of ash wood, designed for photographers, videographers, and nature observers who need a versatile, portable tripod for photography, videography, and use with spotting scopes (e.g., for birdwatching). With adjustable spread angles and excellent vibration damping, it is ideal for macro photography, landscape shots, or spotting scopes such as the Swarovski ATS 65 or Kowa TSN-553. The natural ash wood finish provides an attractive aesthetic. Technical Highlights: Compatibility: For cameras (e.g., Sony A7C, Fujifilm X-T5 with standard lens) and spotting scopes. Maximum load capacity: 15 kg (33 lb). Item No.: 50031 Tripod: Material: Ash wood for excellent vibration damping and weather resistance, combined with aluminum components. Weight: 0.6 kg (1.32 lb). Simple 2-segment leg extension, locked in place by a toggle switch. Height range: 6.6 cm (2.6 in) to 37.6 cm (14.8 in). Packed size: 26 cm (10.2 in). Support surface: 76 mm diameter with fixed mounting screw (1/4" or 3/8" selectable). Adjustable spread angles: 20°, 40°, 60°, 80°, 100° (negative spread) for maximum flexibility, especially on uneven terrain. Rubber caps on the feet for a secure grip; interchangeable spiked/rubber feet available as an option. Ball head not included: Direct mounting of cameras or spotting scopes via the mounting screw is possible; compatible with separate heads (e.g., Berlebach 520, Manfrotto 494). Support plate with bubble level for precise alignment. Features: Ash wood minimizes vibrations, ideal for macro photography and long exposures. Negative spread allows for ground-level shots without a tripod head. Weather-resistant thanks to a protective coating; suitable for outdoor use, even in saltwater environments. Scope of delivery: Berlebach Mini Tripod Natural, mounting plate (76 mm) with bubble level, rubber caps. Warranty: 2 years. Usage notes: Ideal for setups up to 15 kg; heavy telephoto lenses or spotting scopes are supported stably, but a separate head improves precision. Users praise the easy operation of the toggle switches and the stability for macro photography; occasional readjustment of the clamp may be necessary. The wood finish is weather-resistant, but regular maintenance (e.g., cleaning after saltwater use) is recommended. At 0.6 kg and 26 cm in size when folded, it is ideal for travel; fits in backpacks. For spotting scope use, the large mounting surface ensures a secure hold, but manual leveling may be required on uneven terrain.
