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.
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 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.
The NGEH1 and NGEH2 Expedition Hydrostatic Heads are simply the most advanced ball heads in the world, incorporating the innovative hydrostatic locking system to produce an absolute rock-solid lock with the small turn of a knob.

Ideal for photographers using standard telephoto lenses, the NGEH1 is easy to operate, with a newly designed large ergonomic handle with precise friction adjustment.
Like the NGEH1, the NGEH2 Expedition Hydrostatic Head uses hydraulics instead of a mechanical approach to produce a super-tight lock with minimal amounts of knob turning. The effect produced is a smooth moving ball, but when locked, essentially becomes a solid part with the head. Ideal for photographers using large telephoto lenses, the NGEH2 is easy to operate, with a newly designed large ergonomic handle with precise friction adjustment. A rubber bellows system prevents dirt and debris from entering the ball area ensuring problem-free photography even in the most exteme locations.
