With an eagle’s eye
“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy…” This is how photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson described his work; he had a keen sense of capturing both the right moment and atmospheres to highly fascinating effect and his black and white pictures are famous around the world. A good photograph requires time and patience, as well as good equipment that supports the photographer in every aspect of his endeavour. The Alta Pro tripod is such a piece of equipment, merging an innovative language of form with sophisticatedly designed functionality to create a reliable work partner. The design concept focuses on the central column of the tripod, allowing users to adjust it as needed in angles ranging from zero to 130 degrees in variable vertical and horizontal positions, and at any rotational angle. The tripod can thus be adapted fast and flexibly to almost any shooting angle, while its “Instant Swivel Stop-n-Lock” system feature allows photographers to quickly reposition the central column in one simple movement. Another important aspect in the design of this tripod is its stability: it is made of light carbon fibre and aluminium alloy, yet provides high stability. Inspiration for the robust and upmarket design vocabulary of this tripod was found in the beak of an eagle, among other things. Combining versatility and lightness, the design aims to match the idea of the eagle’s swift yet precise movement – to facilitate shooting photographs that reveal new angles to the viewer.
这一款三脚架的设计构思在于，它可以让使用者自由地调节摄影角度，从0度到130度之间，无论是直立还是水平的姿势，或者是任何一个转角。它的机身灵活，调节起来快捷方便，可以让摄影者在瞬间调整好三脚架的角度，以便捕捉理想的摄影画面。另一个重要的因素是用碳纤维和轻质铝合金构成的相机三脚架，它既有稳固、精准的性能，又十分耐用。这一款机的设计灵感来自于行动敏捷，动作精准的老鹰。
