Tripod Legs

• The images show the tripod legs are a professional, two or three-stage design. These are likely made of lightweight aluminum or carbon fiber.

• They feature leg locks for secure height adjustment.

• The system typically comes with a mid-level spreader for enhanced stability on flat or uneven surfaces.

• The legs are designed to work with the 75mm bowl of the Focus 8 head.

Complete System

• The entire system (head, legs, and spreader) is housed in a soft carrying bag, as seen in the images, for easy transport and protection.

• This specific model is often associated with the brand Cartoni, which is a key player in the professional tripod market and shares the "Made in Italy" heritage with Sachtler. The product you have appears to be a Sachtler-branded version or a rebadged Cartoni model, as the "Focus 8" model is a well-known Cartoni product with nearly identical specs.
