The Alta Pro 264AB 4-Section Aluminum Tripod with SBH-100 Ball Head offers generous height, impressive stability, and light weight alongside a comprehensive list of professional functions - primary among which is the 180½ tilting of the center column, which makes a convenient task of macro photography.
The included ball head has separate controls for pan & tilt and smooth locking knobs. With the SBH-100 head on the tilting center column, you'll be able to position your camera easily & securely at virtually any point within a spherical range - and make adjustments to any one dimension without altering the others. With an Allen key you can adjust the tension of the center column's swiveling motion.
Not only macro photography but also any type of outdoor photography will be well-served by the Alta Pro 264AB, which reaches a maximum height of 64.0" and supports up to 15.4 lb. The tripod features spikes that emerge from its rubber feet. At only 5.5 lb with the head, the 264AB is quite portable.
The included SBH-100 is removable and features a +90½ to -35½ tilt range. The head, which also pans a full 360½, comes with a QS-39 quick-release plate. The tripod collar features set screws, so with an Allen wrench you can establish an extremely strong connection with the head.

- Rubber ring underneath tripod collar absorbs shock if center column descends rapidly to chassis
