National Geographic's pioneering use of photography is a vital element in the success of its mission to increase knowledge of our world. Long recognized as a source of the most iconic and important images ever captured, National Geographic explores and records extreme environments and distant cultures. It also keeps a sharp eye trained close to home, documenting the unexpected sides of more familiar natural and human landscapes. Now National Geographic has teamed up with Manfrotto, leading producer of professional tripods and camera accessories with decades of experience, to bring you the tools that top explorers and reporters trust to help them bring home the best images possible.

Whether you're photographing around the world or around the corner, a sturdy, well-built tripod or monopod will help you get the best images by holding your camera still. By supporting its weight, it allows you to use faster, finer-grained film or silent digital settings which let you concentrate on framing while giving you room for artistic expression. The National Geographic Expedition support range, developed for the extreme demands of the photographic explorer, has been designed to combine low weight and reduced size with professional performance, top build quality, versatile advanced features and speedier deployment systems.

Awesomely fast and easy to use, the NGET1 Expedition Automatic Tripod has an innovative rapid opening and closing mechanism -- just pull each leg downward to open and automatically lock it in any position, with no screws, knobs or levels to tighten or loosen. Then to fold it back up again, press the mechanism release button and push the leg closed. Combined with the NGET1's high load capacity, great minimum-maximum height range, and its full range of professional features; this tripod is ideal for nature work under pressure.

Vertically or horizontally mounted center column

Special, all-weather leg warmers provide protection to the hands in extreme elements and large diameter feet with retractable spikes provide extra stability on uneven terrains.
