Jake Khuon, Flickr, and the Adorable C014.

I ran across Jake Khuon‘s flickr stream today and it was fortuitous timing; he’s got all sorts of image-processing tips that I tried out (I then proceeded to lose the rest of my afternoon). But what really caught my eye, and what brought him here to this blog, was the cutest pictures of a fold up Induro tripod. I mean, you can’t make this kind of thing up, it’s just cool.

What adorable tripod is that, you ask? Why, it’s the C014.

Specs:

C014
INDURO CARBON 8X C-Series carbon fiber tripods offer the ultimate in strength, light weight, fast action, and reliable performance. They’re ideal for Backpackers, Nature, Wildlife, Landscape, Photojournalist, Travel and On-location Photographers. C-Series tripods are made of the latest generation of high quality 8-layer carbon fiber tubing which is 60% stronger overall than conventional carbon fiber material. Each leg lock has a specially designed dust and moisture-resistant seal and most tripods include interchangeable rubber feet and stainless steel spikes.
Height: 17.9″ Folded / 54.9″ Extended

Awesome. And now, for some more of Mr. Khuon’s shots. They’re great. And I get the sense he knows a bit about color management and image processing. We may have to introduce him to our friends over at X-rite.

Flickr Find: Three Birds and a Tripod

tripod-induro

Once in a while it’s fun to scour the interwebs for Induro and see what pops up. Today we found Panchev1‘s flickr stream, which includes a look inside his gear bag, and some resulting shots. That tripod above is the Induro A313. Here are the specs:

The Alloy 6M A-series tripods are made of high quality aluminum alloy and are precisely machined to offer the quality and strength demanded by professional photographers.

Each leg section of this tripod is extruded 6000 series aluminum alloy with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. Each leg lock has a specially designed anti-dust and moisture seal along with hard rubber feet. Each leg has an adjustable leg angle of 24, 55 and 80 degrees to accommodate uneven terrain or awkward shooting situations.

Nice! Now, some birds, courtesy of Panchev1:

Now fly away and get shooting!
