The GAC502PRO Aluminum Tiltable Center Column from Benro is an aluminum center column adapter that allows almost any tripod's center column to be extended laterally from a 90-degree horizontal or to add a vertical extension. One end of the center column has a 3/8"-16 male stud for use with most tripod heads, and the other end features groove to fit a sandbag or other ballast. An object can be hung at the end to enhance balance and stability.
The built-in quick release plate base of the GAC502PRO is designed with and Arca-type mount that can be used with Arca-type tripod heads and other receivers. Two anti-slip safety screws are on the bottom of the plate to prevent accidental release. The bottom of the base plate also features additional 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting points, allowing it to be mounted to a video quick release plate or a number of other options.
