If there was ever an iconic tripod design, it’s the ones from the early 2000s and late 90s. That’s where the new Promoster Epoch tripod is taking inspiration from. Every college video department had some sort of aluminum tripod with a ball head of some sort and they all looked like this. Tripods these days don’t have a whole lot of innovation unless they’re incorporating electronics and AI into them like the Benro Theta. But with Promaster, the company is going vintage and relying on more of their token durability by using fewer parts and sections.
