New kits feature unique 3-way Panhead with Folding Handles

Elmsford, NY (February 15, 2011) – Induro, makers of tripods, heads and accessories designed for demanding professional photographers, announces today the new Adventure AKP Series Tripod Kits.

For ease of operation, the popular Adventure Series tripods feature non-rotating aluminum alloy legs with a quick flip lock system and come complete with a matched head. The unique three-way Panhead provides precise camera positioning as well as rapid camera deployment via a snap-in quick release plate. And the new patent-pending folding handles make it easy to pack for transport. The new AKP series consists of three models – the compact four leg section AKP0, and the heavy-duty three leg section AKP1 and AKP2.

“These new Induro Adventure Series tripod kits are perfect for professional photographers and photo enthusiasts looking for the convenience of purchasing a complete tripod and head combination that’s made to last,” said Jan Lederman, President of Induro. “Built to the same standards, and having the same enhancements as top-of-the-line Induro professional tripods, Induro has created an outstanding and easy-to-use tripod outfit at a very affordable price.”
