This tripod makes the famous Manfrotto-patented horizontal centre column feature even easier to use. By extending the column to its highest vertical position, it can be swung round to horizontal without removing the head or disassembling the column itself, so switching between framing and positioning setups is more convenient than ever. The ergonomics of the leg angle release mechanism and the quick action leg locks themselves have also been greatly improved. *_Technical Details_* * Faceted center column eliminates column rotation * Built-in low angle adapter in the center column for ground level shots * Leg warmers on 2 legs ease handling in extreme weather conditions, and help to protect the legs * Four leg-angle settings (25,46,66 & 88°) Closed length 65.5 cm Minimum height 10 cm Maximum height 178,5 cm Maximum height (with center column down) 142 cm Weight 2.40 kg Material aluminum Leg cross section round
