Induro Blog

I know I got all excited about new stuff in the last post, but I just can’t help myself. These new Carbon CT Series 8X Tripods are too rad. Here are the stats, lest you didn’t check them out on the website.

I thought it would be fun to demonstrate the strength of this gear by utilizing the imagery of Ian L. Sitren, who provided a super duper interview for us a few months back.

To recap, Ian told told us his story of finding (and loving) Induro:

Tripods were always an annoyance to me. Then I found Induro and I was transformed. It became a convenience.

So many guys in the front row of the press pit where I was working fought tripods with flimsy legs and non-secure locking mechanisms. Even the lightweight expensive brands got mangled in airline luggage and had extension leg systems that just failed. I found the Induro to be solid and reliable. Locking mechanisms and ball heads that are sound and smooth.

When I fly I typically would check my Induro tripod and head and toss an Induro monopod and head in my luggage. So if I lost the tripod I would have a back up. But when both arrived I would always use the tripod even when a monopod would do, Lightweight and convenient, having that Induro tripod really so very often made my job just easier and let me just make better photos.

Cool! SO, here are the several models of CT 8X tripods that are available- from smallest to largest.  Illustrated, you see, by some of Sitren’s bodybuilders, from smallest to largest. Please don’t take offense, bodybuilders!
