Professional Tripod
This tripod is ideal for the extreme outdoors. The
rubber feet of this tripod can be exposed to reveal
spikes that can be placed in uneven ground, such as
in between rocks. Another useful feature of this tripod
is it’s variable angle leg spread. Each leg can be
angled independently from 45˚ to 175˚. Which is ideal
for leaning the tripod against an angled wall. This
tripod can support camcorders, cameras, spotting
scopes, and large binoculars.
