Discover the unparalleled stability and versatility of the PRO AL-523-BH5AC 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with PBH-535AC Dual Action Ball Head. Engineered with a unique collar and leg-joint system at its core, this tripod enhances torsion strength and minimizes vibration, ensuring crystal-clear shots every time.
The tripod features SLIK's exclusive Rapid Flip Mechanism (R.F.M.), designed for swift one-handed operation, allowing photographers to easily adjust the leg angles to one of three stable positions. The all-aluminum, three-section legs deploy rapidly and secure firmly with user-friendly lever locks, operable with or without gloves.
The PRO AL-523-BH5AC Kit boasts a maximum operating height of 77.5 inches and folds down to a compact 26.2 inches, making it an ideal companion for photographers on the move. The center column is packed with four key features that enhance its functionality and adaptability.
Firstly, the thread post is reversible, accommodating either 3/8" or 1/4 20" male threads, eliminating the need for an adapter. Secondly, the column can be separated into two sections, reducing weight when necessary and enabling the tripod to be set to the lowest possible position off the ground. Thirdly, the column is reversible, allowing the head to be positioned between the legs for close-to-ground shots or straight-down views. Lastly, an integrated, retractable hook at the bottom of the center column allows for hanging a camera bag, providing additional stability in uneven or windy conditions.
Additional features include a bubble level on the main collar for quick horizon setting and an accessory port for extension arms that hold monitors, tablets, or other photographic accessories.
The kit includes the compact professional SLIK PBH-535AC, an Arca-type compatible ball head designed for on-the-go photographers. Weighing just 13.4 ounces, this slim-profile ball head features a universal Arca-type quick release platform, compatible with any Arca style quick release plate, L-bracket, and even backpack "Clip" systems.
The 535AC ball head is equipped with three control knobs for precise framing, tension control for the ball movement, and 360-degree panning. A single U-notch offers greater flexibility of camera position, enabling you to shoot both horizontal and vertical frames. With a load capacity of 11 pounds, the 535AC is capable of supporting full-sized professional cameras and lenses, making it a reliable tool for all your photography needs.
