The new AZ Vortex Multipod is the next evolution of the Arizona Vortex. Named the "Multipod" because of its flexibility, it has a two-piece break-apart head that can be rigged as a standard tripod, or in advanced applications, as an A-Fram, a sideways A-Frame, or a Gin Pole. The "easel" leg allows the tripod to be leaned to form an easel A-Frame, placing anchor points closer to the cliff or stucture edge. With adjustable leg lengths and a versatile third leg, te Mulitpod lets rescuers set up an artificial high directional in virtually any urban, industrial or wilderness location. Three different types of Vortex feet are available to provide secure footing on varying terrain. The AZ Vortex multipod comes complete with:
1 Head Set
3 Upper Legs
7 Lower Legs
1 Head Set Pulley Wheel
1 Head Bag
4 Leg Bags
1 Pin Bag
4 Head Pins
11 Leg Pins
