Ambler Tripod Kit

The new Ambler tripod from ProMaster takes the concept of a compact tripod to the next level for every creator, whether you’re using your camera or phone. Attach your camera directly to the integrated ball head’s ¼”-20 connection or use the included phone clamp to attach your phone, even with a case. Whether you’re taking a selfie, setting up for a quick shot, or shooting tabletop content, the Ambler does it all.

Unlike standard tripods with twist or flip locks for each section, all it takes is a twist of the wrist to fully extend or collapse the Ambler’s telescoping legs and center column. Despite its small size, the Ambler extends over 5’ tall and can be set low to achieve a working height of under a foot from the ground. Independently adjustable legs with 3 angle positions (20°, 50°, 80°) and a weight hook provide stability and versatility.

The Ambler was designed for phones and small cameras to bridge the gap between mini and full-sized tripods, with a compact design made for quick deployment and easy carry. Get creative using this small, but mighty tripod – remove the center column from the tripod legs and use it as a boom to gain views above crowds, action shots low to the ground, or as a selfie stick – it can extend up to 33”! The Ambler goes wherever your adventure takes you and adapts to the content you want to create.

Chronicle Tripods

The Chronicle tripod from ProMaster introduces an entirely new way to create content. There are two patent pending innovations in this tripod: the new take on a ball head and the center column that isn’t just any center column.

The completely reimagined ball head offers an entirely new way to attach your phone or camera to the tripod’s head. With the turn of a knob, you can switch between a Dovetail (arca-type) quick release mount for your camera to an adjustable phone clamp. Never get bogged down again fiddling with tiny screwdrivers, adaptors, or additional parts – it’s all integrated.

Three camera support devices: a black tripod with extended legs, a compact mini tripod with a central pole, and a monopod with adjustable leg sections. Each has a padded handle and quick-release plate for mounting.

The Flexor takes the place of a traditional center column and opens up new creative possibilities for any creator. With your camera or phone attached to the head, turn the knob on the side of the Chronicle’s yoke and then pull up on the ball head to reveal a handheld stabilizer. Open the Flexor’s legs, and the unit becomes a tabletop or ground level tripod. From there, you can detach one of the tripod’s legs to form a traditional monopod by installing the upper portion of the Flexor, with the ball head still attached, to the top of the leg. Unscrew the standard rubber foot from the monopod leg and install the Flexor’s bottom section, and gain a monopod with a sturdy 3-leg base.

Available in Carbon Fiber and Aluminum, the Chronicle is a robust, multifunctional stabilizing system with cleverly integrated features that are intuitive to use.
