The Sunpak 6200PG Tripod w/ Pistol Grip Ballhead is a three-section tripod with aluminum legs, a polycarbonate chassis, and a pistol-grip ball head that facilitates the easiest and quickest method of setting and locking a camera's orientation. The removable ballhead features a quick-release plate for rapid setup changes, with a standard 1/4"-20 stud for the widest compatibility.
The compact, full-size 6200PG is designed to work with full-size DSLR cameras with a total weight (lens included) of 4.4 lb. That load capacity also will accommodate many compact HD camcorders, and the support system might be ideal for using such a camcorder on a shoot that involves static shots that require rock-solid stability.
Along those lines, the three-section legs feature braces for added stability and rubber feet with retractable spikes. The legs and the geared center column raise the tripod to a maximum height of 60.5". The lowest possible operating height is 23.25", and for the ultimate combination of stability and height, the tripod extends to a maximum of 48.25" with the center column retracted fully.
