OVERVIEW Description The Slik PRO CF-933 is a heavy duty full-size tripod extending to 80.5 inches and folds down to a compact 29.2 inches.  It weighs 5.38 lbs and can support up to 22 lbs. The 8-layer carbon fiber legs have 3 sections that quickly deploy and lock using 2 twist locks that are easy to operate with or without gloves. The legs Anti-Rotational System (ARS) is crafted into the leg locks and does not permit individual leg sections to rotate inside each other. Each leg also has an independent leg-angle lock on the collar. This allows the legs to be set to one of 3 angles, varying the height, stance, and stability of the tripod. The center column has 3 important features: The thread post is reversible so it can be set to 3/8” or ¼ 20” male threads allowing it to work with any type of head without the need for an adapter. It takes less than 2 minutes to change and all tools and instructions are included with the tripod. The column can be separated into two sections by simply unscrewing the bottom section. This helps reduce weight when needed but more importantly allows you to set the tripod to the lowest possible position off the ground. The column can be reversed so the head can be positioned between the legs instead of on top. This lets you position the camera very close to the ground or provide a straight down view of your subject. The tripod includes rubber feet that can be removed and replaced with steel spiked feet (sold separately) Leg Diameters by section: Top Section: 32mm 2nd Section: 28mm 3rd Section: 25mm SPECS Max Height (Column Up) 80.5 in / 2045 mm Max Height (Column Down) 65.4 in / 1660mm Minimum Operating Height 11.8 in / 300 mm Folded Length 29.2 in / 740 mm Weight 5.38 lbs / 2440 g Number of Leg Sections 3 Maximum Load 22 lbs / 10 kg Leg Lock Type Twist Lock
