Love these Legs
I picked this tripod up for $70 and I couldn't be happier! I got free shipping and it arrived in TWO DAYS (thanks for being so quick to ship, Adorama!). The legs are exactly what I was looking for. Super simple to use if you want a basic tripod configuration, but it can also get wacky and wild with the 3 leg positions and the center column action if you want to have some fun with your angles. The tripod head on the other hand...it weighs more than the legs. It has a nice range of motion and i...

SLik Tripod
This is a very sturdy tripod. I am pleased with price and speed of shipping!!!!
The PRO AL-523DX Tripod Kit is a complete redesign of the popular PRO 500 full-size series tripods with new features, improved stability and function. At the core of the redesign is the new collar and leg-joint which improves torsion strength and reduces vibration. It also allows Slik to employ its exclusive Rapid Flip Mechanism (R.F.M.) which provides quick and easy one-handed operation when setting the leg-angles to one of three stable positions.
The kit includes the AL-523 Legs and Able 300 Pan/Tilt head. The all - aluminum legs have 3 sections that quickly deploy and lock using lever locks that are easy to operate with or without gloves. It weighs in at 5.2 lbs. (2360g) while supporting 13.2lbs. (6kg). The AL-523 leg only folds down to25.6inche sand a max height of 66 inches. The Able 300 Pan/Tilt head is great for photographers that like to control each axis of movement independently for precise composition alignment. It uses Slik quick release plate #6123 which has a tool-free mounting design for fast and easy attach and removal from the camera.
• The thread post is reversible so it can be setto3/8" or 1/4 20" male threads allowing it to work with any type of head without the need for an adapter. It takes less than 2 minutes to change and all tools and instructions are included with the tripod.
• The column can be separated into two sections by simply unscrewing the bottom section. This helps reduce weight when needed but more importantly allows you to set the tripod to the lowest possible position off the ground.
• The column can be reversed so the head can be positioned between the legs instead of on top. This lets you position the camera very close to the ground or provide a straight down view of your subject.
• Integrated, retractable hook at the bottom of the center column to hang your camera bag for increased stability on uneven terrain or windy conditions
