The system has a maximum height of 62.4" with the center column extended and features a reverse folding leg design for a storage length of only 18.3".

For increased versatility, the tripod legs can be independently locked into place at three different angles to enable shooting in cramped quarters, on irregular surfaces, or at ground level.

An integrated leveling platform on the vertical center column allows for quick leveling of the video head.

A hook located on the bottom of the center column lets you hang additional weight from the tripod's center of gravity for increased stability.

Tripod height can easily be set by flipping the quick lock leg levers which, when combined with anti-rotation legs, enable a quick and easy setup.

A thick layer of closed-cell nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) provides a comfortable yet firm grip when carrying your tripod.

The tripod easily converts to a monopod by combining the center column with the removable tripod leg.

The tripod legs are equipped with interchangeable screw-in rubber and stainless-steel spiked feet.
