The Redged RTA-320 3-Section Aluminum Macro Tripod with R-0 Ball Head is a sophisticated, extremely compact camera support system for table-top or low-angle photography. Composed of lightweight, heavy-duty aluminum alloy tubes, the 3-section legs and center column extend to a maximum height of 18.4" and fold down to just 11.2" (with the head attached) for easy transport.
Though it's a "macro" or table-top model, the RTA-320 includes many of the tripod features that professionals expect: Anti-rotation legs for quick setup, a relatively high load capacity of 8.8 lb, a reversible center column, and no-slip rubber feet. In addition, both the twist locks and the center column are designed to prevent sand and dust from invading the RTA-320.
The R-0 ball head features a single knob for releasing & locking both pan and tilt positioning. The head features a slot for 90° tilt, so you can easily switch to portrait orientation. At only 1.6 lb, this tripod & head combination is an excellent choice for backpackers and other traveling photographers.
