This Giottos MT-7251 Classic Lava Tripod is a professional-level tripod that is part of the MT II series. The professional series of MT tripods follow classic styling and incorporate professional features and design.
The material used for this Lava tripod is made from a hard, black volcanic rock whose weight is comprised of less than 52% silica. Because of its low silica content, it has low viscosity. The lava material is melted at very high temperatures, then spun and extruded into fibers that are made into lightweight tubes that withstand temperature extremes. This makes for a very rigid and lightweight tripod that is comfortable to use in any environment.
Features like three individual, adjustable leg spread positions and a reversible center column with a bubble level all make this tripod a versatile support tool for a pro SLR camera, be it for indoor or outdoor use.
