Slik PRO AL-323-3WFC 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with SH-747FC 3-Way Pan Head

While the Pro 300 series tripods are robust, full-sized, and built to withstand any adventure, the Slik PRO AL-323-3WFC 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with SH-747FC 3-Way Pan Head stands out for its superior durability, versatility, and portability. Whether you're planning a quick trip to the park or an expedition to Death Valley, this high-quality tripod delivers unwavering performance with a travel-ready attitude.

At the core of this innovative series is a fully redesigned low-profile collar and a new Rapid Flip Mechanism (RFM), offering an effortless way to adjust the leg angles. With a simple flip, you can enhance stability on uneven surfaces and lower the tripod's overall height for creative low-angle shots.

The tripod also features an accessory port on the collar's side, compatible with 1/4 20" or 3/8" accessories. This allows you to attach magic arms to hold lights, phones, or tablets. Each leg comprises three sections, with height adjustments made easy through a user-friendly flip-lock design for secure, slip-free operation.

The center column includes a hook for hanging your bag off the ground or adding more weight for increased stability. It can be separated into two pieces for low-angle work or inverted for overhead shots, a handy feature for macro photography.

The SH-747FC is a 3-way pan and tilt head with friction control, featuring Slik's new Arca-Compatible Dual-Stage quick-release platform. This platform offers a choice between traditional side-to-side quick release plate placement for still cameras and front-to-back placement for video cameras.

The platform also includes two round style bubble levels to assist in setting up your camera for level shooting, making the head a versatile choice for all photographers and hybrid shooters who switch between stills and video. Independent pan and tilt Friction Control dials allow you to fine-tune the resistance you feel when panning or tilting, ensuring smooth movements, ideal for video work or observation work with spotting scopes or binoculars.

The 3-way pan head offers separate controls for tilt, pan, and horizon leveling, providing precise adjustments on one axis without affecting the other two, a feature that can be challenging to control with ball heads. A new horizon leveling knob comes pre-installed on the head to reduce the "travel profile" of the head, making it easier to pack or attach to a backpack.

The head attaches to all tripod legs that use a 3/8' male thread post, and a 3/8" to 1/4 20" thread adapter is included, preinstalled on the base of the head, for legs using a 1/4 20" thread post like Slik's Sprint Pro III series. This Slik PRO AL-323-3WFC 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with SH-747FC 3-Way Pan Head is a sturdy, durable, and high-quality choice for any photographer or videographer.
