The PRO AL-523BH5 Tripod Kit from Slik is a 3-section support with a flip-lock leg system. You can extend the legs by disengaging them and raising the rapid center column, so the tripod can reach a maximum height of 65.9". For the tripod to drop to a minimum height of 12.5", you can splay the legs out and split the column in half, so the column doesn't hit the ground when the tripod is at its lowest height. The 4.6 lb support with the included PBH-535AS ball head has a load capacity of 11 lb, and its rubber feet prevent the tripod from sliding on smooth surfaces, providing a secure hold on uneven terrain. The tripod folds to a length of 26" to easily store in its tripod case for travel.

The SLIK PBH-535AS Ball Head with 6507 Quick Release Plate is an Arca-type ball head that has a load capacity of 11 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. A reducer bushing is provided, which allows this ball head to be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 1/4"-20 mount.
Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the included 6507 Quick Release Plate. The quick release plate can be attached or removed from the Arca-Type clamp located at the top of the head's ball-and-socket joint by pulling clamp's integrated cam lock lever, which also allows the plate to be reattached. The quick release plate features a rubberized, non-slip platform while a built-in bubble level along the edge of the clamp accommodates landscape orientations.
By loosening the ball head's primary locking knob, the head's ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. Variable tension can be applied to the ball-and-socket joint's movements by rotating the friction knob located on the opposite side of the primary locking knob. Between the primary locking knob and friction knob is a secondary locking knob, which controls the ability to rotate the head 360°.
