The matte black Slik Pro AL-324DX Tripod with SH-705E 3-Way Pan Head is a four-section support that is always ready to travel. With its flip leg locks and two-section center column, the tripod's height can be rapidly adjusted to its maximum of 57.5", collapsing just as quickly to a folded more compact length of 19.1". The center column is reversible, but you can even get closer to the ground via the Rapid Flip Mechanism, which allows you to lower the 3.8 lb tripod with fast and easy independent leg-angle adjustments. A threaded port is located on the side of the tripod collar for photo or video accessories. The included SH-705E 3-Way Pan Head has three separate knobs for forward-and-back tilt, vertical tilt, and 360° rotation. The pan head has a load capacity of 8 lb and includes a 6123 quick release plate.
