The 3 Legged Thing Mike Carbon Fibre Tripod with Quick Leveling Base and AirHed Cine-S Fluid Head System includes the 3 Legged Thing Mike carbon fiber tripod legs and AirHed Cine-S fluid head, which features a Manfrotto 501 PL compatible sliding baseplate.

The system features a total of 3 bubble levels, and the flat base of the AirHed allows the fluid head to sit lower than if it were a bowl base fluid head when mounted on other platforms such as sliders and car mounts. The Mike tripod legs feature eight-layer carbon fiber construction and each leg can detach from the leveling base to be used as a monopod or boom arm. Optional accessories allow you to turn the leveling base into a Hi-Hat to get remarkably low angle shots with the AirHed Cine.

The Rapid-Latch Angle adjustment system allows you to quickly set the angle of each leg independently, even when wearing gloves. All three legs are detachable, allowing you to use the quick leveling system, with optional accessories, as the base for a high hat for low angle shots, or for working on a tabletop setup.
