Perfect Travel Tripod

I Travel Often For My Photography And I Wanted A Small But Sturdy Tripod To Use With My GFX100sII. I Will Say After Many Trips, Not Only Has It Held Up Really Well, It Is Extremely Sturdy. I Often Do 2 Minute Exposures And The Images Come Out Tack Sharp. I Posted Some Long Exposure Images Taken With This Setup.. I Have Exhibited These Images In Galleries At 30x40 And They Are Perfectly Sharp. Love This Tripod.

Before I purchased this tripod I wasn't sure if it would be tall enough. It's as tall as my Manfrotto 055XPROB. I'm '5 10 and it is taller than me. Extremely well built. It collapses to be a nice small package.

Are the leg angles fixed at 80, 50, 25 degrees or can you select any angle with the locking button?
Each leg can only be locked at preset angles. The locking mechanism/jam is released, the leg angled, and then relocked so that each leg can be independently set.

Is there an accessory that allows for mounting the camera to the bottom of the tripod for low-to-the-ground shots?
No, there is no adapter made that we are aware of that allows you to connect the camera ot the bottom of the Benro Tortoise Columnless Carbon Fiber Three Series Tripod with GX35 Ball Head.
But the tripod does allow one to set it very low, 7.7 inches.
