Product Information

Full details

The Falcam TreeRoot Quick Lock Travel Tripod is designed for creators needing a stable and quickly deployable support system. Its key benefit is rapid setup and secure locking for professional shooting, though the unique quick-lock mechanism may require a brief adjustment period. Made from M40 high-modulus carbon fibre with a Reuleaux Triangle Tube, it offers durability and stability. Key features include a 1/3 limited quick lock, dust-blocking O-ring seals, the F38 Pro Quick Release ball head with dual panoramic control and micro-adjustment, Arca-Swiss compatibility, a secure high-torque tightening mechanism, universal 1/4" and 3/8" thread support, and an ergonomic, glove-friendly grip.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the Reuleaux Triangle Tube design?

The Reuleaux Triangle Tube design significantly enhances the tripod's stability and rigidity by distributing stress more evenly, minimizing vibrations and providing a more solid base for your camera.

How does the 1/3 Limited Quick Lock system work?

The 1/3 Limited Quick Lock system allows for rapid deployment and adjustment. By partially engaging the lever (about one-third of its full range), the leg segment unlocks for adjustment; fully engaging it locks the segment securely in place. This mechanism is designed for speed and ease of use, even in low light.

Is the F38 Pro ball head compatible with other brands?

The F38 Pro ball head itself features an Arca-Swiss compatible clamp, meaning it works with most Arca-Swiss style quick-release plates from various brands. The tripod's mounting points are also standard 1/4" and 3/8" threads, ensuring broad compatibility with other photographic equipment.

Can I use this tripod for video recording?

Yes, the F38 Pro ball head's dual panoramic control and click-damping micro-adjustment are beneficial for smooth panning and precise framing in video recording. The overall stability also contributes to steady footage.

What is the purpose of the O-ring seals?

The O-ring seals are integrated into the Quick Lock mechanism to block dust, sand, and other debris from entering the leg segments. This helps maintain the smooth operation of the locks and prolongs the life of the tripod.

How do I clean and maintain the carbon fibre legs?

Carbon fibre legs can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the Quick Lock mechanisms are free from dirt before operation. Store in a dry place.

What kind of load capacity can I expect?

While specific load capacity is not detailed, the M40 high-modulus carbon fibre, Reuleaux Triangle Tube design, and high-torque tightening mechanism suggest it is built to support professional camera setups securely.

Troubleshooting

Quick Lock lever is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure no debris is obstructing the lock. Lightly clean the mechanism. If persistent, a tiny amount of dry lubricant may help, but avoid over-application.

Camera feels unstable on the ball head.

Ensure the high-torque tightening mechanism is fully engaged and locked. Verify the camera's quick-release plate is securely attached and seated correctly in the ball head clamp.

Ball head does not move smoothly.

Check if the panoramic controls or the main locking knob are too tight. Loosen them slightly. Ensure the camera is balanced on the head to reduce strain.

Tripod legs do not lock securely.

Confirm the Quick Lock levers are fully engaged and locked into position. Inspect the leg segments for any damage or warping that might prevent a secure lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Extend the tripod legs by engaging the 1/3 Limited Quick Lock levers on each leg. Push the lever to unlock, extend the leg to the desired height, and push the lever back to lock securely.
  2. Attach the F38 Pro ball head to the tripod apex using its integrated mounting system or the 3/8" thread.
  3. Mount your camera or accessory onto the F38 Pro ball head's quick-release plate (ensure it's Arca-Swiss compatible or use a compatible adapter).
  4. Use the high-torque tightening mechanism on the ball head to secure your camera firmly.

Compatibility:

  • The tripod mounting point is compatible with standard 1/4" and 3/8" threaded studs.
  • The F38 Pro ball head is Arca-Swiss compatible, working with most Arca-Swiss style quick-release plates.
  • Universal compatibility with most cameras, lenses, and accessories featuring standard tripod mounts.

Care:

  • Periodically check the O-ring seals for dust and debris. Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth.
  • Wipe down the carbon fibre legs and metal components with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Ensure the quick lock mechanisms are free of obstructions. If stiffness occurs, a small amount of dry lubricant can be applied sparingly.
  • Store the tripod in a dry, protected environment when not in use.
