This is a 4-section aluminum tripod, supplied with a storage bag. Compact, this tripod measures only 46 cm when folded. The ball joint is positioned between the 3 legs to maximize space. For information, it measures 59 cm unfolded with the central column minium. What to remember: ↪️ Weight: 1360 grams (with ball joint) ↪️ Maximum load supported: 8 kg ↪️ Minimum height: 41 cm ↪️ Maximum height central column output : 159 cmTo deploy the tripod there is a latch to lock or unlock the sections and slide them out. The feet are adjustable from three angles, by pressing the button and choosing the desired angle. A hook is located at the bottom of the main column, in order to hang a bag there for example, and to optimize stability of the tripod thanks to its counterweight. Equipped with a Ball head, it is an essential accessory with a tripod. Thanks to the central ball, and a knob, it is possible to orient the camera in all directions: 360°, tilting... With its quick fastening system, all you have to do is fix the support on your camera, and fix the everything on the ball joint in a few seconds, thanks to its wheel on the side. The support has anti-slip pads slightly raised so as not to scratch the camera once fixed on it. To see all this in detail, I have attached a video with this comment.
