A versatile ball head

The Fotopro 62QS ball head, which crowns the tripod, is great for both dynamic framing and shooting static landscapes and portraits. It features two independent and convenient to use dials. One allows infinite adjustment of the ball-locking clamping force during tilting. The second knob controls the movement of the rotating head base. It features a 360° scale to facilitate precise panning. The head is compatible with quick-mount plates made in the popular Arca-Swiss standard. Two spirit levels will allow you to position the camera perfectly and get perfect shots in any field conditions!

Down below!

The modular design of the Fotopro Sherpa Max tripod allows you to remove most of the central column and install the head on the 8cm tube in seconds. Thanks to this solution, the tripod’s legs will be able to unfold almost flat. This positioning will allow you to get close to the ground with your camera. The unusual perspective will allow you to discover new ways of framing and is also great for macro photography.

Mounting additional accessories

The Fotopro Sherpa Max tripod was created for modern photographers and video makers who are keen on additional accessories to make their daily work easier. It is equipped with 2 1/4″ female threads. This solution will help you to install additional accessories on the tripod, such as preview screens, LED lights, directional microphones, sound recorders or teleprompters. You can also screw a combined smartphone holder and allen spanner essentials to one of the threads, thus creating a “magic arm” that is within your reach.

Turn it into a monopod!

When filming and taking photos, there are often times when you don’t have the time or space to set up a tripod. This is when a monopod comes to the rescue. Simply unscrew the leg of the Fotopro Sherpa Max tripod, which is finished with a pleasant-to-touch lining. Connect it to the centre column and discover completely new ways of framing with the telescopic handle with a maximum length of 156.9 cm.

“Holster” for monopod

A special monopod ‘holster’ is included, which you can easily attach to your trouser belt with Velcro. It also features a small carabiner which acts as an additional safety feature. The hip monopod holder is not only a great way to keep your device close at hand. When you install it in front of you, it makes it easier to stabilise your shots and also relieves the strain on your hands.

Practical essentials

The storage compartment inside the central column hides a pocket essential offering 2 Allen spanners. With these you can easily adjust the tripod, tighten the camera to the mounting plate or connect various photographic accessories together. It is also equipped with two 1/4″ male threads. With these, you can connect the essential with a smartphone holder or screw it into the thread of your choice so that allen keys are always in sight.

Smartphone photography and filming

With most film and photography tripods, working with a smartphone requires you to be equipped with a special mount. By choosing the Fotopro Sherpa Max model, such an accessory will always be at hand! The handle is also concealed in the central column, which is secured by a screw-on load hook. It is equipped with a 1/4″ female thread. In addition, it is compatible with the Arca-Swiss standard, so you can install it on the head, in place of the mounting plate. The mount allows you to work with smartphones from 58 to 89 mm wide.

Finds itself in all conditions

The legs of the Fotopro Sherpa Max tripod are equipped with rubber, non-slip pads. This will ensure that the panels and parquet floors where you will be setting it up will not be scratched and the design will give your frames optimum stability. If you are working outdoors, simply remove the rubber feet and use the adhesive spikes. This will be ideal when the tripod is standing on compacted earth, ice, mud or sand.

Safe transport

Included with the Fotopro Sherpa Max tripod you will also receive a zipped transport bag. It is resistant to harsh weather conditions. It will safely store your tripod and provide you with the necessary comfort for travelling. The bag is made of robust material. There is also an interior pocket for small accessories. The case will effectively protect your tripod attached to the backpack or closed in the suitcase with other photographic accessories.

6 year warranty

The Fotopro Sherpa Max is distinguished not only by its outstanding functionality, but also by its original design and high quality workmanship. The combination of lightweight 3K carbon fibre and metal elements finished in black looks great, while ensuring durability for many years. Importantly, all Fotopro tripods come with a six-year warranty!
