 National Geographic Expedition Tripod
The National Geographic tripod family - composed of two tripods and two heads was field tested by National Geographic photographers and engineered to withstand extreme environments. The National Geographic 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.
National Geographic Expedition ball
The National Geographic 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 National Geographic Tundra family of products, composed of three tripod kits, is designed for first-time digital photographers and avid outdoor enthusiasts.
