About This Project

The Modular Tactical Tripod System introduces James and Jason—two premium carbon fibre tripods that share a modular platform with interchangeable legs and accessories. James is designed for travel and lightweight carry at 1.17kg with a 30kg load capacity, while Jason scales up for heavier telephoto lenses and cinema rigs at 1.23kg with a 40kg capacity. Both feature 3K weave carbon fibre legs, aerospace-grade magnesium alloy canopies, oversized leg locks, and an AirHed Orbit head option. Legs convert to a monopod or boom, and the system offers three leg configurations (3, 4, or 5-section) for different stability and portability needs. Available in Black, Lava, and Olive Drab Green with an estimated delivery of January 2027.

Risks & Challenges

Production timelines depend on campaign demand; popular configurations may exceed initial manufacturing plans, potentially delaying some orders. The team has already begun producing components and reports a 0.026% returns rate. Fulfilment is expected January 2027, with updates promised throughout production.
