Induro CLT203 Classic Tripod w/PHQ1 Head is ideal for working in extreme surroundings because of its sturdiness. It withstands load up to 25.3lb, its legs expanding and folding back just as quickly by means of twisted locks. The legs are made of carbon fiber featuring a magnesium alloy spider for added strength and durability. The legs divide into three sections to maximize the tripod’s height to 57.1 inches and fold it back to a minimum 19.1 inches. The tripod also features a short central column with a large lock to extend its height further to 67.3 inches. Other noteworthy features include patent-pending Quintaxial positioning for dual tilts, base, and top plate rotation, and Arca-Swiss style quick release system with a dovetail QR plate design.
