The new Dolica Odyssey series tripods are designed to provide an outstanding level of support and strength for photographing in some of the world most difficult locations. This is attributed to our new design, finish and engineering developments like sealed leg-locks which include a patent pending Acme thread design to prevent mud, sand and dust from gradually entering; thus, preventing the wearing away of the tripods' leg locking mechanisms. Plus, the legs are resistant to the corrosive power of seawater, humidity and other aggressive natural environments. CNC Machining: Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) provides excellent management in the design, fit and finish of every part found on the new Odyssey Series tripods. Plus, its great load capacity provides a great solution for photographers who need ultimate support but want to keep their tripod as portable as possible. All features, materials and finish in an Odyssey Series tripod meet and exceed our quality control standards. The New Dolica Odyssey Series tripods are ideal for supporting high-end camera equipment (70-200 mm up to 300mm Telephoto Lenses and medium format cameras) in multiple terrains such as: wildlife, landscape, travel, sports and studio installations where reliability is paramount. And where the right tripod can make the difference between success or failure of an entire shoot.
