This aluminum VHD-2004 Photo/Video Tripod from Sirui consists of four-section padded legs and a rotating ball head that together weigh 2.3 kg.The legs tighten with twist locks that adjust with a simple turn to extend the legs to a maximum height of 175cm. A second, short center column is included which allows you to drop the tripod to a minimum height of 23cm without having to lift the column up. One of the tripod legs disconnects and can be used as a monopod, if desired. A bubble level on the top of the legs helps with balance. The rubber feet are removable and can be swapped out for optional spikes, and the tripod also features a 1/4-20 accessory mount.The ball head is installed on top of the tripod and supports compact DSLR or midsize cameras weighing up to 15 kg. A separate pan lock disengages and allows the head to rotate 360°. The ball also moves freely after unlocking the head’s lever lock
