Despite its light weight, it will support your equipment up to 6.1 lb (2.8kg)

The included Pistol Grip QR ballhead allows removal and replacement of the camera to the tripod and enables the photographer to gain a high degree of control over camera positioning.

The Pro 523PX2 chassis incorporates 3 position leg angle adjusters for providing mid and low-angle adjustment, a chassis spirit level and center column tensioning adjustment. Other features include rubber guarded twist lock legs, neoprene leg warmers, a removable center column hook, a reversible anti-rotation center column, a second short reversible anti-rotation center column and rubber feet with retractable spikes.

    Comments about Sunpak Pro 523PX2 Carbon Fiber Tripod:

    As one who has come to the world of photography late in life, I looked for resilient equipment that I could tote on my own, that I could change out quickly and that wasn't too heavy. As a real estate photographer, much of my work is done outside in extremes of hot/cold. This tripod is light enough for me to sling over my shoulder and carry when I'm not using it, but strong enough for my camera/lenses/pan-heads/flash. A BIG feature for me is that I don't have to loosen or tighten anything on threads - a must for those older joints in my hands/fingers. The pistol grip level is just a squeeze and the flip releases to extend/retract the leg have completely spoiled me - so much that this is the second 523PX2 I've purchased and this one is my backup!
