Gearing Tripod in More Detail
Unique Gearing Tripod Features
The Gearing tripod is a fully multifunctional tripod and trekking pole system all in one, with an integrated Monopod. The legs are easy to clean and maintain with no loose components to get lost. A modular design allows you to convert the tripod into a mini tripod by switching out the legs. The ingenious centre column contains a 10-piece screwdriver kit and you get versatile feet for stability in various environments.
Modular Heart Unit
You can simply unscrew the legs from the heart to transition between a full-sized tripod which raises to 142cm with the centre column extended, to a tabletop tripod for close-ups and macro work. This modular design allows mini legs to be fitted creating a mini tripod for capturing unique angles anywhere. The three detachable legs can be used as trekking poles which can be fitted with optional Gearing trekking pole handle or full Gearing Trek Kit. Each leg has four leg pitch positions so you can frame your shot even in difficult terrain.
Innovative Carbon Fibre Legs
With fewer components inside the legs users benefit from there being nothing to lose while cleaning and maintaining the tripod. The legs are designed for use as trekking poles or ski poles to help move through challenging environments when out shooting. They feature 4 compact sections with high-performance rubber twist leg locks to make easy height adjustments. Tungsten carbide tripod tips with a tethered rubber boot can provide extra grip and durability in even the harshest environment.
Clever Centre Column
The centre column has an integrated 10-piece screwdriver so you can make adjustments to your kit anywhere and always have your tools handy. The column can also be inverted to capture unique angles low to the ground. A removable hook is included to keep the tripod stable in windy conditions and to keep your camera bag to hand.

Our Verdict
The Gearing Tripod is the first product which arrives with some unique features sure to appeal to photographers and content creators who enjoys the outdoors and want a lightweight tripod system. It’s a fully convertible, modular tripod system which includes a tool set for maintenance, a monopod and fully functional trekking pole which can also be used skiing with a simple accessory. The carbon fibre has been machined rather than cast, ensuring excellent durability and strength, while remaining lightweight enough for any situation.
The centre column is reversible too, so long angles are no problem, resulting in a combination of features that ensure you can bring the tripod even in the harshest environments where weight comes at a premium. It’s exciting to see a new concept in lightweight tripods coming from a Sussex based company and we are sure anyone who loves the great outdoors will appreciate the versatile nature of this carbon support system. You can also get a Gearing lightweight Ball Head and several compatible tripod accessories from The Gearing Company.
