Product Features

This tripod is recommended for use with lightweight camcorders, spotting scopes and DSLRs with a range of lenses up to 300mm. It has an excellent maximum load capacity and good torsional rigidity. The four leg sections extend to bring it up to eye level. It's an ideal solution for photographers that are looking for a solid tripod without sacrificing weight.

Features

ALR (Anti Leg Rotation system) - allows the tripod to be opened in less than 15 seconds
G-Lock - provides a "gravity lock" effect meaning the higher the load applied vertically to the leg the stronger the lock
Ground Level Set - allows you to remove the center column to move the camera closer to the ground
Hook - allows you to attach a weight to the bottom of the center column for stabilization
Removable Leg Ends - easily change worn out rubber feet or fit other accessories such as spiked feet or snow/sand shoes
Rapid Column - the center column clocking collar above the tripod shoulder makes it easier to adjust the column quickly
Reversible Column - easily invert the column for an alternative shooting angle or for macro work
