2 Photoclam is a company incorporated in the Republic of Korea. Based on the precision processing technology accumulated and required for development and manufacture of metallic products for the last 30 some years, the Company develops and manufactures photo and video related devices including tripod heads (such as the ball head, gear head and tilt head), the tripod head, tripod and camera plates. Under the philosophy of Making the best products in strict compliance with the standards and principles and based on the Company s long tradition of precision technology, the Company offers to photographers the devices that have been upgraded one step further. The Photoclam s ball heads come in various sizes and colors and they offer a powerful fixing power with outstanding performance. Pro Gold Ball Head, in particular, is recognized as an excellent ball head as it is added with beautiful design and user convenience. Special heads (such as the gear head and the tilt head) demonstrate well of the Company s precision technology in that they offer an optimum user environment during precision shooting and especially when shooting subjects in motion. The plates are light in weight and in close contact with the camera body, and offer a high level of durability with outstanding design. The tripods newly launched in 2014 have been upgraded one level further from the existing tripods for professional photographers. All parts of Photoclam are precision processed to ensure that each and every part is assembled with pinpoint accuracy. In this way, shaking and vibration can be reduced to a minimum. The structure of the Company s patented tripod pursues stability and convenience. The carbon tripod is made of ultra high tensile carbon fiber for the first time in the world, which is known for its excellent resistance to deformation and reduction of vibration, in order to enhance strength and stability of the product. The aluminum tripods which are low-temperature hard anodized down to their legs have been significantly improved in lightwieghtness and surface strength. Photoclam will continue to launch superior products by focusing on the basic performance of products, pursuing diversity and refined designs based on its commitment to quality and on the past performance with ceaseless R&D and renovation in technologies, in order to help the photographers produce masterpieces.

7 TRIPOD TECHNOLOGY for Superior Products together with the accumulated technological competence of Photoclam What is required to make a sturdy tripod? The heart of tripod is the leg-connecting canopy and the locking system. If these two parts are not precise, the tripod will shake resulting in production of photo in poor quality. Photoclam, equipped with the precision metal machining technology, realizes the accurate coupling of each component. In the heavy wind or even a heavy object placed on top, the tripod of Photoclam never shakes nor falters. QS-Lock (Quick & Sturdy Lock) The locking system refers not only to a locking function, but also to the system around the leg joining area. The joints play the most important part in the stability of tripod. If the joints are not precise, the locking and the anti-shaking and anti-vibration functions are affected. Not only the parts around the joints, but also the legs of Photoclam tripod are machined precisely to have the legs in uniform thickness to realize accurate fitting of all parts thereby ensuring outstanding performance with quick locking and resistance to shaking and vibration. High elasticity, Ultra high elasticity 8 X Carbon Hard Anodizing Photoclam has applied the high elasticity (HE) and ultra high Aluminum parts (such as the hub of tripod) is surface treated elasticity (UHE) carbon fiber to its tripods to enhance stability by the low temperature hard anodizing method by which and portability. Carbon fiber is classified into standard, medium the aluminum material is converted to alumina ceramic having and high elasticity. Elasticity efficiencies refer to the maximum the surface harder than that of steel with outstanding durability load that recovers after force of 1m2 being applied and removed. and wear resistance. The higher elasticity, the less bending and higher absorption of vibration. Therefore a tripod made of high elasticity and ultra high elasticity carbon fiber inhibits shaking and absorbs vibration better, can replace thick ones and offers enhanced portability as it maintains the stability even with a multiple level of leg extension. Canopy (Hub) The tripod hub is exposed to frequent movements, and distributes load to the legs. Photoclam tripods adopt a precision processing (by the cutting process) ensuring that the products are highly resistant to impact and offer fair performance. Also, all unnecessary parts have been removed during the process to reduce weight of the finished product. Optimized structure for Macro Photo When unfolded to the maximum, the tripod has the upper structural part in low thickness to have a minimum ground clearance with the stable structure to optimize the close-up shooting of wild flowers etc. Tripod angle system Photoclam tripods unfold at 3 different angles of 24º, 55º and 85º. The tripod unfolded at a relatively low angle can be high above the ground but is low in stability. All tripods of Photoclam (including the 0 Series) are designed to unfold at 24º at a minimum to offer the stable shooting environment. Button-type angle adjustment The angle of tripod is adjusted by the button to facility quick and simple angle adjustment. Mountain Platform Safe Lock Screw Type Mountain Platform Traveler Type Tripod All-in-one Type Anti-turning Acetal The mountain platform is designed in the dual locking structure. The screw type mountain platform is turned to fix itself and the fixation screw on the side of hub is tightened to prevent missing or movement. The mountain platform is of the screw type to facility easy and convenient mounting and de-mounting. Photoclam tripods are easy to carry with the 180º folding mechanism by which the head is located inside the legs when folded. The anti-turning acetal of Photoclam is of the all-in-one type, instead of the detachable type, to ensure that the risk of losing is minimized and it is easy to fit and remove. To apply an all-in-one type acetal, the leg thickness must be uniformly processed so that they are in close contact with acetal. 6

Height-extension Tripod for performance at the maximum height The long version of tripod of Photoclam is a byproduct of the Company s focus on stability at the maximum height. Unlike the conventional tripods utilizing the center column to increase the height of tripod resulting in poor photo quality due to low stability against shaking and vibration the tripod of Photoclam can have its legs extended to facilitate angular shooting without using the center column to help the photographer to overcome the weaknesses of the conventional tripods.
