Tripod Datacolor STP100 lightweight portable tripod for color measurement instruments

Datacolor STP100 lightweight portable tripod for color measurement instruments is designed to provide a stable, adjustable mounting platform for handheld and benchtop colorimeters and spectrophotometers. Its compact construction and low weight make it convenient for both field and laboratory use, enabling repeatable instrument positioning and hands-free operation for color measurement, calibration, and quality-control procedures.

Advantages

The tripod offers a balance of stability and portability, allowing quick setup on uneven surfaces and secure attachment of color measurement instruments. Its adjustable height and mounting head enable precise alignment, reducing positioning variability between measurements. The compact folded size and lightweight materials simplify transport and storage while supporting consistent measurement repeatability.

Suitable for

• On-site color checks in manufacturing and production environments
• Studio and photographic color calibration workflows
• Routine instrument calibration and performance verification
• Quality control sampling where consistent measurement geometry is required

Key specifications

• Construction: lightweight, portable tripod with collapsible legs for compact storage
• Mounting interface: universal mounting head compatible with most handheld color measurement instruments
• Adjustability: variable height and angle for precise instrument alignment
• Portability: compact folded dimensions and low weight for field transport
• Stability: non-slip feet and secure locking mechanisms to minimize movement during measurement

How to use

Set the tripod on a stable surface and extend the legs to the required height. Secure the leg locks and position the mounting head to the desired angle. Attach the color measurement instrument using the compatible mounting interface and tighten the securing mechanism so the instrument is held firmly. Position the instrument over the sample according to the instrument manufacturer’s measurement geometry recommendations, then perform measurements following standard operating procedures.

Recommendations

For best repeatability, ensure the tripod is placed on a level surface and leg locks are fully engaged before each measurement. Use the tripod in combination with the instrument’s recommended accessories and measurement protocols, and avoid exposing the tripod to excessive moisture or corrosive environments to preserve mechanical function.
