The A1005 Tripod with Y-10 Ball Head from Sirui has 5-section aluminum legs that fold a full 180° in reverse to make it a compact 14" length for storage and transport. Fully extend the center column for a maximum working height of 55.1". The 22 lb load capacity allows you to attach a pro DSLR with a large telephoto lens.
A hook at the bottom of the center column can be used to hang a small sandbag or camera bag to stabilize the tripod. Variable leg angles allow a minimum height of 10.2", and you can reverse the center column to get even closer to the ground. The tripod's leg detaches and converts into a monopod that increases in height by attaching the center column.
The included Y-10 ball head is Arca-type compatible and comes equipped with a quick release plate. It also has a knob-style lock for the clamp, and two separate knobs control movement of the ball and 360° panning base. Place your camera at a 90° angle using the ball head's single-cut notch.
