With its non-slip rubber feet and the metal spikes included in the delivery, the tripod stands securely on any surface. For more stability, the load hook on the center column can be loaded with e.g. a backpack. The 4 leg sections can be released and locked again in no time at all using the twist locks (ring locks). Thanks to the soft sponge rubber grips you always have your tripod safely under control. In winter they also serve as protection against the cold. Thanks to 180° flip-over function of the legs the tripod measures just 46.5 cm when packed. The ball head is completely enclosed. It is equipped with the Safety Lock System to prevent the removable plate from accidentally slipping off. It also has a levelling level and a 360° panorama scale. It is compatible with the Arca Swiss System.
