Made of aluminum alloy, the tripod is rigid and lightweight (5lb/2.3kg) for wild and landscape photography or outdoor videography and filmmaking. It's robust enough to support a DSLR camera, camcorder, and video camera of up to 17.6lb (8kg). The fluid pan head with smooth damping and -70°/+90° tilt adjustment allows you to set the camera at any angle for low angle and overhead shots or take pictures vertically or horizontally. The quick release system enables fast and safe camera mounting. With a 1/4" and 3/8" mounting screw, it is compatible with countless equipment. A safety lock can secure the camera and prevent it from dropping. Legs can be positioned at 3 angles for low angle photography, macro photography, and overhead photography. Remove rubber feet to use spikes for muddy and sandy surfaces. Unscrew the tripod leg with a foam grip to get a monopod 21"-74" (53-189cm) adjustable for sports events, wildlife, astrophotography, and more. Remove the sandbag hook before attaching the center column to the monopod.
