Master XC-M 528K Professional Tripod Kit with Head- Black

The Master XC-M 528K Professional Tripod Kit with Head (Black) is a versatile and rugged support system designed for photographers and videographers who need stability, flexibility, and adaptability in a wide range of shooting conditions.

Built with transverse 180° folding legs, the tripod folds down compactly for easy transport while maintaining strong support when deployed. One of its standout features is the built-in monopod, allowing you to quickly convert part of the tripod into a portable single-leg support—perfect for mobility in fast-paced shooting environments.

It comes equipped with a dual-action ball head with tension memory lock, providing smooth movement and precise control while retaining your preferred tension settings. The included ProMaster dovetail quick release system (Arca-Swiss compatible) ensures fast and secure camera mounting.

For maximum versatility, the tripod offers independently adjustable leg angles, making it easy to shoot on uneven terrain, as well as a 2-stage reversible center column for low-angle or inverted shooting setups.

Additional features like bubble levels on both the tripod and ball head help ensure accurate alignment, while the retractable weight hook adds extra stability by allowing you to hang additional weight in windy conditions.

Designed with comfort and durability in mind, it includes soft-touch grips on key contact points and is built to perform even in extreme environments, with cold weather operation down to -20°C (-4°F).

Its modular and expandable design allows for customization, making it adaptable to different shooting styles and accessories.

Reliable, flexible, and travel-friendly, the Master XC-M 528K Professional Tripod Kit is an excellent all-around support solution for creators who need stability, portability, and multi-function capability in one system.

Product Features in Detail

The XC-M 528K is more than just a compact, go-anywhere tripod—it's part of an expansive modular system.
XC-M stands for eXtreme Compact Modular, and it is the modular component that makes this tripod system truly special. Expand and customize the XC-M tripod to meet your specific creative needs:

- While some tripods use a single, detachable leg to form a monopod, all three legs on a ProMaster XC-M tripod are removable and can be attached to the center column to form a full-sized monopod. By connecting a set of ProMaster Extension and Macro Legs (product 3559), you can either extend the tripod's height or achieve an incredibly stable macro tripod.

- Remove the rubber feet at the bottom of each leg and replace them with a set of All Terrain Feet (product 3510) for a robust system of stainless-steel spikes with soft, removable covers and sand/snow baskets.

- Slide the center column out and add a Ground Level Adapter (product 3531) for low-angle shots, or try the Column Tilt Adapter (product 4028) to convert the center column to a multi-position adjustable boom.  

Thanks to its modularity, XC-M is the most adaptable tripod system available anywhere in the world today.

Finally, every ProMaster XC-M tripod has a Mini Dovetail Plate installed in its yoke, which lets you quickly add an accessory such as a flex arm or articulating arm. Pre-attach your accessory to a ProMaster MD Clamp (product code 3573), and it can then be installed or removed from the tripod in a matter of seconds. 

The ProMaster XC-M 528 tripod's 5-section, transverse legs fold 180°, making the entire unit just 16 1/2" long for storage and travel. Fully extended, it reaches a working height of over 6.5'! Each leg's angle and length are independently adjustable, allowing the XC-M 528 to properly support your camera on uneven ground. A two-stage center column allows you to maximize working height without sacrificing the tripod's compact size. The center column is reversible, and the weight hook can help achieve better stability in windy conditions or when making long exposures. Its dual-action ball head is strong, precise, and lightweight, with an independent pan control. It has an integrated memory lock for repeatable tension control and uses ProMaster's Dovetail quick release system (Arca-compatible) for fast and secure camera connection.
