The718B is a compact 4-section tripod with a short folded length. It has a built-in hybrid video/photo 3-way head with a "dovetail" quick release camera plate (can be locked in place one-handed), separate pan and tilt locks, and a short pan/tilt bar for more ergonomic use while panning or tracking moving subjects. The leg pivot system uses a unique single hinge design in aluminium which both keeps the cross section smaller and allows the leg to fold shorter than conventional tripods. Comes complete with a carrying bag with twin shoulder straps for backpack style carrying.

What Kirk's Say:

Perfect for someone travelling with both a still and video camera. The clever 4-section design packs up to 49cm but gives you a maximum height of 166cm.
