Back in 2018, Inon announced a tripod system designed to provide a stable platform for underwater photo and video work. However, that modular system offered a highly flexible solution that may seem overly complex for casual shooters. Now, Inon has introduced a simpler, more compact, and more affordable option—the Compact Tripod (UWTP-C1)—which pairs with the new Quick Shoe Ballhead (UWTP-QB1).

Alongside, the Japanese company has released various accessories that could be used with the tripod: the GP 1/4-20UNC Adapter ll (for GoPro), the Ball 1/4-20UNC Adapter, and the Direct Base YS ll.

All the new offerings are available now. Consult your Inon dealer for pricing.
