3 Legged Thing announces new Punks Trent 2.0 monopods and kits
Following the recent refresh and upgrade of their Punks tripods to Punks 2.0, 3 Legged Thing announced Punks Trent 2.0, an ultra-tall magnesium alloy monopod available as a standalone monopod or in a kit with 3LT’s Docz monopod foot stabilizer. Trent 2.0 is one of the tallest tripods available, reaching more than 2 meters / 6.5 ft tall at full extension. It can support loads of up to 30kg / 66lbs and weighs just over 700g giving it an impressive load to weight ratio of almost 50:1.
Bringing it into line with the Punks 2.0 tripods, Trent 2.0 features rugged new leg locks that combine knurling with a central rubber grip, for improved leverage in even damp conditions or when wearing thick gloves. Internally the leg locks now have the same anti-rotation Chicken Lips (shims) as current 3LT tripods, making Trent 2.0 more rigid and stable when extended.
Similar to the new Punks tripods, Trent 2.0 will now be available in two colors – Metallic Slate Grey – a firm favorite with wildlife shooters, and a new Metallic Blue version. Trent 2.0 is available from http://www.3leggedthing.com and from camera stores with an SRP of £79.99 / US$89.99 monopod only, and £119.99 / US$139.99 for the monopod kit with Docz.
“Trent has been one of our most popular products since its release in 2018,” said Stuart Boston, 3LT’s Chief Operations Officer. “We’re excited to bring the new refreshed Punks 2.0 look to Trent, whilst maintaining the unparalleled load capability and impressive extended height of its predecessor. We’re sure that videographers, wildlife, and sports shooters will love it!”
With dual ¼”-20 and 3/8”-16 threads at both ends, Trent 2.0 is incredibly versatile. At the top, a spring-loaded combination screw thread allows a camera to be mounted directly to the monopod, or for a tripod head or clamp to be added to enable quick release. In the base, a 3/8”-16 thread with ¼”-20 adapter enables compatibility with a variety of tripod footwear and with the Docz stabiliser.
Trent 2.0 is available from http://www.3leggedthing.com and from all good camera stores starting today with an SRP of £79.99 / US$89.99 monopod only, and £119.99 / US$139.99 for the monopod kit with Docz.
