Smooth Pan & Tilt Motion

The pan handle and tension knob make it easy to track moving subjects with precision. The pan head tilts up to 90° and locks securely in place, perfect for capturing landscapes, birding, or astrophotography.

Quick-Release Mounting Plate

The broad, padded platform with a 1/4"-20 mounting bolt securely holds binocular adapters, spotting scopes, or cameras. The plate adjusts forward or backward for balance and features a safety lock to prevent accidental release.

Flexible Leg Design

Each leg offers four sections with latch locks for fast adjustment and three angle settings, including a fully flat position for low-level or uneven terrain. Combined with the extendable centre column, the tripod adapts to any viewing condition with ease.

Telescoping Centre Column

The twist-lock centre column extends smoothly for extra height (up to 580mm / 22.8”), making the tripod ideal for tall users or elevated perspectives. A 1/4”-20 stud on the column’s underside allows for inverted mounting of a camera for unique low-angle shots.
