3 Legged Thing Docz2

£50/$TBA www.3leggedthing.com

The original Docz was a foot designed to add extra stability to a monopod. But now 3 Legged Thing has upped the versatility of the revised Docz2, as it can double as a mini tripod. This has been achieved by swapping the 3/8in-16 mounting point for a 1/4in-20 thread that can screw straight into your Nikon’s tripod mounting point. An included 3/8in-16 adapter retains compatibility with existing monopods, while the 1/4in-20

mount now allows the monopod leg to be fitted to 3 Legged Thing’s Leo, Punks Brian and Punks Corey tripods. The placement and tension of the ball mount is adjustable via the rubber foot in the base.

First impressions

A monopod stabilizer can give your monopod a surer footing on rough or soft ground, and make panning movement smoother. However, while it folds closed, Docz2 will add some bulk when you’re out and about.
