3 Legged Thing Announces Docz2 Monopod Stabiliser and Mini Tripod
British tripod manufacturer 3 Legged Thing have announced a successor to the company's Docz foot stabiliser, which was available as both a standalone product and as part of a kit with either its Alan or Trent monopods.
The main change over the Docz is the Docz2 swaps the 3/8”-16 mounting point for a 1/4”-20 thread mount, although it also ships with a 3/8”-16 adapter.
As well as increased monopod compatibility, the 1/4”-20 thread mount on Docz2 turns it into a mini table-top or low-level tripod, allowing users to attach their camera directly on to the ball mount. The positioning and tension of the ball mount is adjustable via the rubber foot in the base of Docz2. Users who prefer to use a tripod head, can still do so by using the bundled 3/8”-16 adapter.
This feature change enables monopods with either 1/4”-20 or 3/8”-16 threads in the foot to be used with Docz2.

With the release of Docz2, 3 Legged Thing will also update its monopod kits to include the new product. AlanKit2 – featuring 3LT’s professional, carbon fibre, travel monopod, Alan, and TrentKit2 – which includes 3LT’s ultra-tall Punks aluminium monopod, Trent, will both be released at the same time.
All three products will be available from 1st June 2019. The Docz2 has an RRP of $92AUD.
