3 Legged Thing's Equinox Leo Tripod announced as "Best Tripod" at 2017 Lucie Technical Awards
STAGSDEN, Bedfordshire (PRWEB UK) 31 October 2017 -- 3 Legged Thing's Equinox Leo Tripod & AirHed Switch, a micro-travel tripod that has unique modular functionality for conversion to video rigs and monopod, and holds a huge 30kg / 66lb was named Best Tripod 2017 at the prestigious Lucie Technical Awards, hosted in New York City on 25th October 2017.
The Lucie Technical Awards honours companies and individuals who have innovated, inspired and advanced the photography industry in a given year.
"It's been an incredible ride, these last couple of years. We've worked so hard as a company to be better in every way, innovating, and pushing the boundaries of function and design. To be recognised for this hard work is a tremendous honour, and a wonderful moment for me, both personally and professionally." said 3 Legged Thing's Founder & CEO, Danny Lenihan. "I designed Leo to really challenge the fabric of conventional thinking in tripod design, creating a product that could be more versatile than any other tripod in its class. That we achieved this, and won this prestigious award, as a small, British, camera support solution headquartered in a Chicken Shed on a farm in Bedfordshire, against the might of the biggest and most respected tripod companies in the world, is just incredible. It's very humbling."
