Rent NowGiottos MT-9160 Professional Aluminum Tripod Legs
Heavy-Duty Support Core 3-Section Variable Geometry, Versatile Column Orientation & Rugged Black Aluminum Build (Legs Only)
The Giottos MT-9160 is a professional-grade, heavy-duty aluminum tripod leg system engineered for photographers, videographers, and studio creators who demand uncompromised stability and modular setup flexibility. Crafted with high-tensile, thick-walled aluminum leg tubes and finished in a durable matte black coat, this tripod is built to support demanding camera setups, heavy telephoto lenses, and full-sized panoramic heads. Designed with versatility in mind, the MT-9160 balances extreme load-bearing strength with advanced mechanical configurations to excel in both controlled studio environments and unpredictable outdoor terrain.
A standout engineering feat of the MT-9160 is its multi-angle leg-locking system and its highly adjustable center column design. The center column can be easily inverted for ultra-low-angle ground perspective work, macro shooting, or flat-lay reproduction setups. Its robust 3-section legs are secured by Giottos’ classic, highly durable quick-lever flip locks, allowing you to rapidly deploy the tripod from a compact carrying height of 23.6 inches up to a maximum working elevation of 63 inches. Outfitted with bubble levels, comfortable all-weather foam leg grips, and convertible rubber/spike feet, the MT-9160 serves as a rock-solid foundation for precise imaging.
This product listing is for the Giottos MT-9160 Tripod Legs only. It does not include a tripod head, allowing you to mount your preferred ball head, pan-tilt head, or fluid video head via the standard top plate screw.
Key Features & Structural Architecture
Heavy-Duty Aluminum Build: Constructed with premium-grade, black-anodized aluminum tubes to provide exceptional rigidity and damp vibrations under heavy camera loads.
Versatile 3-Section Design: Deploys quickly and securely using tactile, high-strength quick-release flip locks that can be adjusted to maintain optimal tension over years of heavy use.
Flexible 23.6″ to 63″ Height Range: Provides an adaptable working height spanning from a highly stable, low-profile height up to an eye-level 63-inch maximum extension with the center column raised.
Multi-Angle Leg Adjustment: Each leg can be independently adjusted and locked into multiple preset angle positions, allowing you to easily level your camera on uneven slopes, rocky steps, or tight studio corners.
Invertible Center Column: The vertical center column can be quickly unlocked, flipped, and reinserted upside-down, positioning your camera just inches off the ground for dramatic macro work or extreme low angles.
All-Weather Comfort Foams: Two of the legs feature thick, insulated foam handgrips that protect your hands from cold metal surfaces and provide a secure, non-slip grip during outdoor transit.
Universal Head Interface: Outfitted with a heavy-duty top platform featuring a standard reversible 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 mounting screw to accept virtually any professional photo or video head.
