A Multitude of Rigging Possibilities

Often called a multipod because of its versatility, the Vortex’s two-piece head set allows for rigging as a standard tripod, or in advanced applications like an Easel A-frame, A-frame, Sideways A-frame, and Gin Pole.
Fully adjustable telescoping legs let riggers set up in the most challenging wilderness, urban and industrial terrain.
Adjustable third leg can be used to create a leaning easel A-frame that positions the change-of-direction pulley closer to the edge of a cliff or structure.
