When using a PTZ camera setup, skip the head as you don't need it, with the E-Image Aluminum Tripod with Rising Center Column & QR Plate for PTZ Cameras. This set of tripod legs uses a P6 (Manfrotto 501) compatible quick release mechanism that lets you slide your camera (with QR plate mounted) directly onto the legs for a simpler and more stable setup. Though lightweight and easy to take with you, the legs support up to 26.5 lb of camera and remain stable, even with the geared center column at maximum extension.
With a height range of 33.25 to 92", these legs can handle almost any situation needing a PTZ camera. It features a mid-level spreader that allows you to shoot on unlevel terrain, while retractable foot spikes have spin-down rubber shoes that make the tripod suitable for exterior and interior locations. The QR mechanism has both a 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded accessory mounting hole, and an included weight bag attaches to the legs, allowing you to add optional weight for added stability.

E-Image GA230-PTZ Reviews
Great value
I have been looking for an affordable tripod for PTZ cameras, and this one checks nearly all of boxes It goes over 8’, which is great because I don’t need to have the venue supply a camera riser. Setup is quick and easy, there’s no head, so I don’t have to balance at multiple points. The knobs to adjust height are easy to operate with one hand, and the tripod is stable and doesn’t torque or twist. My only knock, and it’s kinda minor, is that the build quality looks to be a little suspect. Not awful, but I’m not sure how long it will last after traveling on the road for a few months. For the price, I didn’t really expect it to be a tank. It’s sturdy enough for a PTZ, and the feet are stable and wide. Overall, a great value.
