The tripod legs are made of sturdy aluminum alloy, and together with the head they reach a maximum height of 59.5". Each leg is composed of four sections, which can be adjusted and securely locked into place with the lever locks found on all segments, and a side-pull selector enables quick setup with both hands. An Easy Link attachment at the top portion of the leg section allows you to attach external accessories, and rubberized feet avoid skidding and help keep the tripod stable on uneven terrain. An integrated hook is also included so you can add a weight and increase the stability of your tripod when shooting in more difficult conditions.

Awkward

By Joseph
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2024-05-07

The good news is that this tripod is plenty light. But the quick release attaches to the tripod head in a very awkward way that makes it difficult to determine whether your expensive camera is locked in. You must be very, very careful. The controls and the way the whole thing folds up are awkward also. You might be better off with something else. At least see it in person before you buy.

Great stability & flexibility!

It's stable and tilts 90 degrees so I'm happy.
