One tripod, dozens of uses

The Fotopro Sherpa tripod is the perfect travel companion, which will be only 37 cm long when folded. You can successfully stow it in your suitcase or clipped to your backpack.

If required, the central column can be flipped upside down, placing the camera right on the ground. This setting is ideal for macro photography. It can be used both outdoors and at home. Its working height can range from 37 cm up to 151 cm. This will ensure comfortable working in almost any environment.

Professional ball head

The Fotopro 42QS ball head, which crowns the tripod, is great for high-speed sports photography as well as for static landscapes and portraits. It features two independent and convenient to use dials. One lets you infinitely adjust the clamping force of the ball locking during tilt. 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 levelers will allow you to perfectly position the camera and get perfect shots in any field conditions!

Turn it into a monopod

When filming and taking photos, there are often times when there is neither time nor space to set up a tripod. This is when a monopod comes to the rescue. Simply unscrew the leg of the Fotopro Sherpa 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.

Working with a smartphone

For most film and photography tripods, working with a smartphone requires a special mount to be fitted. By choosing the Fotopro Sherpa model, such an accessory will always be at hand! The handle is 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.

Allen keys always at hand

The storage compartment located inside the centre column hides yet another accessory. It is a pocket essential that offers 2 Allen keys. With these you can easily adjust your 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 to a smartphone holder or screw it into the thread of your choice so that allen keys are always in sight.

Mounting additional accessories

The Fotopro Sherpa tripod was developed 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.

Finds itself on any surface

The legs of the Fotopro Sherpa 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 tripod, you will also receive a zipped transport bag that is resistant to harsh weather conditions. It will safely store your tripod in it, providing you with the necessary travel comfort. 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 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 grey looks great, while ensuring durability for many years. Importantly, all Fotopro tripods come with a six-year warranty!
