Description
This SLIK U8000 Tripod supports up to 4.5 lb, measures 23.2″ when folded and includes a three-way, pan-and-tilt head. Its 3-section legs each feature flip locks for fast deployment, and can be positioned for a minimum height of 22.0″ to a maximum height of 47.2″, or 59.0″ with its column fully raised. The column utilizes a geared movement for precise height adjustments and an integrated center brace allows the legs to be spread simultaneously as well as uniformly. The center brace helps to hold the legs in place, which include rubber feet to further enhance stability on a wide variety of surfaces.
Cameras, sport optics, or camcorders that are compatible with a 1/4″-20 mount can be connected to the quick release plate, which is secured to the tripod’s pan-and-tilt head using a cam lock. The head can be rotated 360°, and tilted 90° backwards or forwards, as well as sideways for portrait orientation. Both the 360° rotation as well as the 90° backward or forward tilt movements function simultaneously and can be set in place using the pan bar’s integrated twist lock. When changing from a landscape to portrait orientation, the sideways tilt can be independently adjusted and secured.
