Twistlock

Telescopic Tripods

The Industry’s Finest Tripods with the Best Features.

  • TwistLock – FRC’s unique locking ring operates from either direction. It is simply the best way to deploy a light with the gloved hand!

  • Air Cushioned pole release – This innovation allows the pole to lower slowly, when released, on a cushion of air. This helps to prevent pinched fingers and damage to the bulb.

  • Ease of set-up – FRC tripods are designed to deploy all three legs at the same time, allowing the unit to be set up quickly and easily at an incident.

  • Lightweight anodized aluminum poles – The standard tripod weighs just 16 pounds!

  • Cammed knobs – The pole tightening knob will not unscrew or come off due to vibration.

  • Anti-chatter legs – Rubber covers at the bottom of the legs ensure a quiet ride.

  • Small footprint – When closed the unit sets into an incredibly small lower bracket allowing ease of mounting just about anywhere!

  • Truck mountable – All tripods are truck mountable, allowing them to be used as telescoping lights on the vehicle and off!

  • Wire Guard – As shown is standard.

  • Extends up to 12 feet! – Fire Research tripods are designed to permit “overextension” of its legs so the tripod’s lamphead can reach this incredible height.
