This 2-section tube is operated by a simple twist lock, and the mounting screw can be attached under the tripod head or directly into the camera.

A load capacity of 22 lb and a 1.5" top plate diameter allow for a wide variety of camera equipment to be mounted. This extension tube comes with bushing adapters and will fit any tripod with a 1/4" or 3/8" mounting stud.

Sturdy Tripod Extension

By Sanford
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-22

I have a Sunwayfoto Hermes Tripod. The tripod is used for my 600mm f4, camera body, and Wimberly head. The tripod supports the weight well. However, it is a bit too short when I have to aim the camera and lens when photographing birds in flight or nests high up in trees. I use the extension to add 8 to 12 inches to the tripod. It supports the weight quite well. The Extension is rated at 22 lbs. My attached equipment weights about 13 lbs.

I'm 6'4 and need a little bit of help, and this pier extension is just right. Tightens up nicely, sturdy and adjustable.

The unit ships with a 3/8" adapter and acorn nut installed on the top section. How do you remove the 3/8" threaded adapter on the top section to expose the 1/4"x20 threaded post?
Asked by: Bob
The top thread for me was spring loaded, so if you push it down the outside thread, the 1/4inch thread will be revealed.

question

Does this come with a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter for the bottom thread?
Asked by: Lauren E.
Yes. The bottom is 3/8's with an adapter to make it 1/4. The top is 1/4 and it comes with an adapter to make it 3/8. I use the 1/4 adapter in the bottom and use the 1/4 thread in the top as it comes. I don't think I will need the 3/8 adapter for the top, but having them makes the product very versatile. The picture shows both adapters but you can't tell what they are.
