Eccentric friction levers make operation easy with arctic gloves or in wet icy conditions. Two highly visible bubble levels let you plumb the tripod in seconds.
A center guide tube increases the stability of the tripod while providing a smooth guide path when raising and lowering tube sections. A tube lifter is provided to give the user an ergonomic advantage when raising heavy payloads.
Each mast section is made from high strength carbon composite material offering distinct advantages over aluminum or steel. This composite tube gives the best strength to weight ration available. Carbon tubes are inherently dent resistant. They have a slot and pin design that locks them together preventing rotation. Each tube has a fiberglass protective outer coating that is UV and scratch resistant.
