Positions at 25°, 46°, 66° and 88° support low viewpoints and uneven terrain.
The UNI/PdR 105:2021 safety payload provides capacity for a camera and the selected head.
A rapid centre column and flip locks shorten preparation time.
Independent leg-angle adjustment expands framing options. The tripod reaches 137 cm with the centre column down and 160.5 cm fully extended, while the minimum working height is 30.5 cm.
