The aluminum Geekoto X25 Defender 75" Tripod expands to this maximum height by unlocking the twist leg locks and extending the four-section legs along with the rapid center column. Splaying the tripod's legs out enables you to shoot at a minimum height of 24", but the center column is reversible, so you can get even closer to the ground. At the same time, the column can be positioned at a 90° horizontal angle so you can practically shoot directly over your subject. The 4.4 lb support includes an Arca-type ball head that has a load capacity of 22.04 lb. The supplied quick release plate attaches to cameras via its 1/4"-20 threaded camera mount. The leg with the foam grip is detachable, and it converts into a working 79" tall monopod including the ball head. To store or transport the tripod, fold the legs in the reverse to a compact 18.9" size and fit it in the included carrying case.

Geekoto X25 Defender Tripod Reviews
So Good I Bought Two!

My First One Of These Broke After 7 Years Of Heavy Use, So I'm Not Knocking It Down A Star Based On That (plus I Was Able To Fix It Pretty Easily). Came Here Thinking I’d Get An Upgrade And Use The Current One As A Backup. After Preparing To Spend Some Money For Manfrotto, Gitzo, Or A 3 Legged Thing, They Really Couldn’t Compare For The Functionality And The Price. Highly Recommended.
Avoid at all costs.

These are very prone to breaking, rendering the legs unable to move. The leg retention is accomplished with a VERY flimsy plastic ring. My tripod made it exactly ONE extension before one of those plastic bits broke, rending one of my legs unable to be retracted. I absolutely baby my stuff, so if it broke for me it surely won't withstand the use of someone who really tests their equipment. It's a shame, because if it didn't self destruct it would be a really nice tripod.

The tripod comes with an extra piece of shaft just shy of 4 inches long and a double-ended connecting screw. It's not clear in the manual or anywhere else what it's for. I guess it might be an extender for the monopod but does anyone know for sure?
yes its made to extend the monopod from 75" to 79"

Is this compatible with a Movo Photo GH800 Gimbal Tripod Head, or is another gimbal recommended? I have a Canon 5D Mark IV and Sigma 600mm zoom with a teleconverter so weight is an issue.

Where do I buy specific component parts for the X25 Defender? The black plastic compression sleeve that fits around the inner vertical shaft and is compressed by the locking nut needs to be replaced.
