The DHS Tripod - lightweight, portable, surveying tripod and pulley system

Constructed from 304 stainless steel body and aluminum adjustable legs, this tripod is solidly-built, yet still light and portable. The legs are spread wide at 45 degrees giving a low centre of gravity providing exceptional stability. The low slung position of the sheave wheel provides increased stability on uneven surfaces and with its large diameter increases the longevity of the cable.
