Magnus TR-13 Tripod with Ball Head Overview

The Magnus TR-13 Travel Tripod with Dual-Action Ball Head includes an Arca-type-compatible quick release plate, and the head has a separate locking knob for the ball, and one for the 360° pan. The cut notch on the side of the ball head allows you to place a camera at a 90° angle, and the head can support point-and-shoot, mirrorless, and DSLR cameras weighing up to 13.2 lb.

The four-section aluminum legs have flip locks that open so you can extend them along with the rapid center column to a maximum height of 62.5". To get to the minimum height of 16.5", the legs splay completely out, and they have three variable angles with independent leg spread to adjust when shooting on uneven terrain. The tripod's center column is reversible to get closer to the ground. The legs fold in the reverse to a compact 18.2" to be compact for travel, and rubber feet prevent the tripod from sliding on smooth surfaces.

Outstanding Tripod

I was looking for a basic and sturdy tripod for static video shots, made the mistake of going for a $20 Magnus which wobbled if you breathed on it. This one is absolutely awesome. I have a $400 Feisol and this tripod is very similar in design and robustness. Worth every penny.

I would like to adjust the pan scale to have either 0 or 180 aligned with the front leg of the tripod, but I have not been able to lock it in place in that position. Has anybody figured out a way to do this?
Asked by: Eric
Thanks for both answers. I had also pretty much come to the conclusion that while you can rotate the scale, you can't really lock it precisely in a specific position. Oh well, it's still useful as a reference, and at the price it's hard to complain. Great little tripod!

Is this tripod quick release plate compatible with a Cambio Field Camera? Not sure if different models require different heads?
Asked by: hailey
Yes, the ball head on the TR-13 comes with a Quick Release Plate with a standard ¼-20” thread. The Field camera may have a 3/8-16” female thread, in this case a reducer busing can be used.

Yes. The only time I had problems with giggle was when it was fairly windy. I think it was 30+mph. I bought it for a trip to Scotland, it preformed well (except for the wind). Now it's in my car, just in case. :)
