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.

The NGET2 Expedition Carbon Fiber Tripod represents the top of the NG lightweight range, providing professional photographers with a tripod that is very light, compact, simple to use, high quality, strong, and extremely versatile to position. To reduce the weight of the tripod without any compromises on stability and rigidity, the legs are made of unique, three-faceted carbon fiber tubes of 1.2 mm thickness combined with quick-action, magnesium and resin lever locks. The top spider uses a patented design, which allows four separate leg-angle settings and provides the ability to convert the center column to a lateral arm. The center column used in this tripod comes from the latest generation of aluminum and resin, which allows you to leave the head mounted on the center column when switching between low angle and normal shooting positions.
