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 Tundra support range, developed for the passionate amateur imagemaker, has been designed to combine low weight and reduced size with professional performance, top build quality, versatile advanced features and speedier deployment systems.

The National Geographic NGTT2 Tundra Photo/VideoTripod With Hybrid Pan Head offers the same flexibility and features as the Tundra Ball Head tripod but with a special hybrid head for both photo and video use. A simple turn of the pan handle locks or unlocks the tilt and pan movements, while a separate lock allows you to quickly achieve vertical compositions. The special two-section column and variable leg angles provide the flexibility needed to obtain low angle photography. Small and extremely compact, the NG Tundra Photo/Video tripod is a perfect companion for all your outdoor digital camera and Mini DV camcorder needs.

National Geographic NGTT2 Tundra Tripod Key Features

Hybrid 3-way pan head for both photo and video use

Built-in Hybrid 3-Way Pan Head With Pan Handle

The NGTT2 has a built-in smooth-moving 3-way head suitable for use with small video cameras as well as with photographic equipment. A simple turn of the handle locks or unlocks the Pan (left/right) and tilt (up/down) axis of the head. When shooting video, this handle also allows steady movement of the camera.

Compact Quick Release Plate

A small profile plate designed to fit all compact digital cameras allows the camera to be quickly attached and detached from the tripod. It's easy to access yet provides the safety required to prevent the accidental release of the camera from the tripod. To fix the quick release plate to the bottom of your camera, a special tool is located in the bottom of the column. Simply unscrew the tool from the column and then replace it when done.

Anti-Torsion "D" Profile Tubing

A natural anti-rotation shape ensures the legs don't turn. The elliptical shape also provides greater rigidity at the critical point where the legs attach to the tripod.

Three Set Leg Angles

Quick and easy to open and close, the NG Tundra Tripod allows quick positioning of the camera for horizontal or vertical composition. Turn the dial to select normal leg angles (23 degrees), medium leg angles (45 degrees), or low-angle (80 degrees) to achieve ground level shots.

Five-Section Legs

Five section tripod legs permit a folded length under 18" making the NGTT2 ideal for fitting into luggage. Once on location, the NG Tundra extends to 59.8" with the center column extended.

Adjustable Center Column Removes For Low Angle Positioning

Hidden away between the tripod legs, but eay to find, the lever quickly locks and unlocks the column to obtain higher camera positioning or to remove the column for low angle positioning. The column unscrews and splits into two sections. In combination with the 80-degree low angle leg setting you can get your camera all the way to the ground.

Large Rubber Feet

Large rubber feet provide stability on flat and uneven surfaces.
