Questions & Answers

DIANE M : What head did you get to go on this tripod? How well does this tripod work? Is it very steady? Why did you pick this tripod?ROGER F : I bought this tripod for a trip I was taking to the Caribbean. I needed something lightweight for carrying around all day, and something that wasn't so expensive so that if it was stolen or damaged from the salt water, etc, it wouldn't be such a loss. I used it with a Benro B-2 ball head with quick release. It's nicely made and works with my Really Right Stuff plates. The tripod was well-made and reasonably sturdy for its size. I used the metal hook at the bottom of the center column to hang my camera backpack to weigh it down. I shot with a cable release, and it worked fine.

Review Summary

About Slik 724CF

The tripod that back-packers and frequent traveler dream about. Narrower diameter leg tubes yield greater weight reduction. The PRO 724 CF weights only 3.1 lbs but can reach 64.4 inches when fully extended. Four leg sections means the tripod retracts to a very small 18.1 inches closed. This small size is perfect for back-packs and fitting into suitcases.

With a maximum capacity of 11 lbs the PRO 724 CF can handle a wide variety of cameras and lenses making a great choice for any photographer that needs to travel light. But should more weight be required this tripod has a hook at the bottom of the center column when extra weight can be hung.
