The Atlas 42-L2 is a 2-section tripod with reversed leg tubes. 38mm carbon are atop thicker 42mm tubes, allowing for greater strength and ease of adjustment. The new FLM Atlas Series is a systematic series of tripods incorporating large tubes and an adjustable apex that accepts standard-size 100mm accessories using the CC-100 adapter. To use 75mm accessories, the FLM CC-75 adapter is needed. The 42mm tubes provide excellent support, while the apex has a safety catch and a quick lock system. The strongest and toughest tripod FLM has yet produced.
