(image credit: Photojojo) The Expedition Wooden Tripod | US$290.00 | photojojo.com
there is the tripod that holds up your lovely camera and then there is those that not only holds up your camera but looks stylish. let’s face it, camera tripods are all ‘lookalike’ regardless of their makes or brands, and if you come to a point that you needed a single tripod that lets you stand out from the crowd of photographers, The Expedition Wooden Tripod would be one of the worthy candidates.
made out of “sustainably” harvested ash wood, this 6.2 lbs tripod will feel equally at home in the urban jungle and the Mojave Desert. the Expedition Wooden Tripod touted to have “precision fittings” that keep your camera “boulder-steady” and as it turns out, wood happens to absorb vibration better than traditional tripod materials such as steel, carbon, or aluminum. an aluminum core enables it to extend from two to six feet.
overall, it looks like something we would buy, simply because it differs from the rest of the lookalike tripods of aluminum and metal construction. however, one thing to note is that the tripod head is not rotatable. what a bummer, isn’t it? well, if rotating is a must, you will have to source for a ball tripod attachment to go with it. i’m sure this little short fall isn’t going to turn you away from such a beautiful tripod, right?
The Expedition Wooden Tripod cost $290 a pop and is on sale now over at Photojojo Store. not exactly your everyday price but you know how it goes. being stylish comes at a price and if you are not convinced yet, check out more images of The Expedition Wooden Tripod after the break. tell us you’re not tempted.
