SLIK Lite CF-522 Carbon Fiber Tripod

SLIK Lite Carbon Fiber Tripod - The Slik Lite Travel Series are the first tripods to incorporate an integrated, removable LED flashlight in the center column to illuminate your camera bag while shooting at night. Built from the highest quality European 8-layer carbon fiber. The new Rapid Flip Mechanism locks (patent pending) allow the legs to invert 180 degree for more compact storage and transportation. When its 4 leg sections are fully retracted the CF-422 is less than 19 inches (483mm) long, making it easy to stow in a carry-on suitcase or backpack. Despite its compact retracted size, it's a full-size tripod reaching over 70 inches (1778mm) when fully extended. Lightweight European 8-layer carbon fiber keeps this travel tripod to less than 2.5 lbs (1.13kg) while maintaining a superior weight to load ratio. The tripod also features a gearless, detachable and invertible center column that separates to convert to a short column for low angle photography.
