This tripod converts to a monopod, adding to its utility in situations where space is limited or more mobility is needed. It also features three accessory mounts for expanding your setup with lights, microphones, or other equipment. The reverse folding leg design aids in its compact folded size and the five available leg angles provide options to stable shooting on uneven surfaces or at different heights.
The VX20 ball head is Arca-type compatible, a common standard, ensuring a secure quick release system and broad compatibility with other plates. It also allows for smooth and precise camera positioning for the perfect shot. The aluminum legs with sturdy twist locks ensure a stable platform for your camera, and are quick and easy to adjust, even with one hand or when wearing gloves.
