Weighing only 3.6 lb, but with a load capacity of 17.6 lb, this tripod supports everything from compact and mirrorless cameras, up to a full DSLR with zoom lens. The 5-section legs provide a maximum height of 61.8" and a reverse-fold length of just 15.4", it is small enough to store or carry just about anywhere. The durable metal twist locks combined with anti-rotation legs allow for a fast and fumble-free setup, plus weather and dust resistance. Easily convert this tripod to a monopod by removing the center column and the padded leg, for added versatility when a full tripod is too bulky or slow. The adjustable two-section center column can also be reversed for inverted low-to-the-ground shots. Located within the center column is an internal small leg set which can be used in conjunction with the center column, leg, and head to create multiple configurations. By attaching the head directly to the small leg set it can be used as a tabletop tripod for live streaming, virtual meetings, video chatting, or weblogs.

The included Q-series triple-action ball head contains separate adjustments for pan and ball lock as well as an additional pan lock on the QR plate for even more accurate panoramic shooting. It includes an innovative PMM70 convertible phone holder QR plate, to easily switch from camera to phone in a snap, without changing heads or plates. The Arca-type compatible convertible plate mounts in portrait or landscape orientation, allowing quick and easy photography and social content capture in the same setup.
