Falcam TreeRoot Pro Quick-Lock Travel Tripod Kit

TreeRoot Pro is upgraded for center-column stability, faster quick release and a more capable ball head, so it suits demanding setups where stability matters most. Key differences:

• Center column: a carbon fiber center column with a three-sided clamping lock holds tighter and stays steadier when raised.
• Ball head: TreeRoot uses an inverted ball head for a more compact fold. TreeRoot Pro comes with an upright ball head with a larger ball and lower center of gravity, better for telephoto lenses.
• Quick release: TreeRoot Pro adds the TR quick-release system, so you can switch between shooting with or without the center column.
• Column removal: TreeRoot uses a latch-type release; TreeRoot Pro uses a push-to-release design that makes removing the column and inverted shooting easier.
• Ball head handling: the F38 Pro upright ball head has a smoother press-in quick-release action.
• Tool-free adjustment: the clamp lever tension on the TreeRoot Pro head can be adjusted by hand, so you can compensate for temperature changes while traveling.

Each TreeRoot Pro leg section locks or unlocks with about a 1/3 turn, much faster than traditional twist locks that need several full rotations. The built-in stop also lets you feel whether a leg is locked or unlocked, even in the dark or without looking, which helps prevent mistakes.

No. TreeRoot Pro uses a redesigned center column shape and locking structure, so the two center columns are not interchangeable.

Not directly. The ball head of TreeRoot (R141K-320P) and the F38 Pro ball head (401P) that comes with TreeRoot Pro use different center column and connection structures, so they can't be swapped as-is.

Both heads have a 3/8" thread on the bottom, so these combinations do work:

• The 401P ball head (SKU: F38B6501) fits the TreeRoot flat-top tripod (SKU: T00A4302).
• The 320P ball head (SKU: F38B4303) fits the TreeRoot Pro tripod legs (Only Tripod version).

Yes. TreeRoot Pro has a standard 3/8" thread, so any head with a matching mount will fit. With a third-party head, the TR quick-release feature is no longer available, and other functions depend on that head's own design.

Yes. The 401P ball head has a standard 3/8" thread and fits any tripod with a matching mount. On other brands' tripods, the TR quick-release feature is unavailable, but all other ball head functions work normally.

The quick-release clamp works with most Arca-Swiss type plates and camera cages, including many long plates. Because Arca-type accessories vary in size and design between brands, we can't guarantee every one will fit. Check the clamp dimensions in the user manual, or contact us with your plate's brand and model and we'll confirm.

Yes, TreeRoot Pro can be used with a full-frame body and a 70-200mm telephoto lens. Real-world stability also depends on total weight, the lens's balance point, how the legs are set up and the shooting environment. With a telephoto lens, attach the quick-release plate to the lens's tripod collar rather than the camera body to keep the setup balanced and steady.

Vibration during long exposures can come from wind, uneven ground, gear weight, how high the tripod is extended and how the shutter is triggered. For the sharpest results, set up on firm ground, keep the center column as low as possible, and use a self-timer or remote shutter. In strong wind or with long lenses, adjust the setup to suit the conditions.

Stability in wind depends on wind speed and gusts, extension height, ground conditions and how much surface your gear presents to the wind. In strong wind, lower the tripod, spread the legs fully, double-check every lock, and retract the center column to lower the center of gravity. In very strong wind, judge on site whether it's safe to keep shooting.

We recommend using TreeRoot Pro between -20°C and 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).

In cold weather, avoid hard impacts and check that the legs and locks work normally before use. If the tripod is covered in ice or snow, clear it off before extending or locking the legs, and don't force any lock or part to turn.

Sand, grit or mud inside the leg tubes or locks can make extending and locking less smooth, so clean the tripod soon after use. Wipe off surface dirt first, then clean the leg sections and let everything dry fully before packing it away.

If a leg doesn't extend smoothly or won't lock properly, don't force it. Contact our support team and we'll help.

Salt spray and sand can build up on the tripod and inside the locks, so clean it soon after your shoot. Remove sand and salt residue from the surface, clean the leg sections, and let the tripod dry completely before storing it.

Don't use harsh or corrosive cleaners or add lubricant unless you're sure it's suitable. If the locks or legs feel abnormal, contact our support team.

With the ball locked, turn the damping knob on the ball head to set how much resistance the ball has, so it suits your gear's weight and how you like to compose.

Stop turning it to avoid damaging the internal mechanism. Contact our support team with a photo or video of the issue and we'll help you sort it out.

No. The lever's contact point is copper, and every head is tested before it ships. Light rubbing marks from that testing are normal and don't affect performance.

The F38 Pro ball head (401P) doesn't have a 360° scale. If you need one for panoramas, add a separate panning clamp with a degree scale on top of the head.

No. The lifetime warranty covers quality problems in the product's main body caused by manufacturing defects. Normal wear and tear, accidental damage, misuse and technical obsolescence are not covered.

Using the product as designed and within the normal range described in the user manual. Rough handling or overloading (for example, exceeding the rated load capacity) is not normal use.

Contact our support team with clear photos and a video showing the problem, plus a short description of when it happened, where and how you were using it. If we need to inspect the product, we'll ask for your falcamstore.com order number and a photo of the product's S/N label, then open a service case for you.

You pay to ship the product to us first. If the issue is confirmed to be covered, we cover shipping both ways. If it isn't covered, shipping both ways is at your cost.

Warranty replacements may use open-box, lightly used or refurbished products or parts. All of them pass quality inspection and keep the same warranty. Refurbished items may show very light cosmetic marks that don't affect function; if yours arrives with obvious scratches, contact us for an exchange.

The lifetime warranty applies to the original purchaser only and can't be transferred. The original purchaser can still file a claim on the new owner's behalf, or the new owner can choose paid repair with the product's S/N.

For example, if an older interface standard is phased out. If a product can't be repaired because of technical obsolescence, we may replace it with an equivalent or better product that's currently in production.
