This super compact SPRINT MINI series tripod has many of the same advanced features of the SPRINT PRO but in a much smaller package. The SPRINT MINI weighs just 26 ounces and folds to an impressively compact 14.1 inches for effortless travel. But surprising for tripod of this small size, it has a maximum height of 43.3 inches to get the camera well up off the ground.The SPRINT MINI makes setting up simple and secure with fast, easy to use SLIK speed release leg locks and gearless center column for quick height adjustments. Three position adjustable angle legs make it easy set up on uneven ground or steps.The adjustable angle leg locks can also be used to lower the tripod. When used with the built-in short center column, (the included center column unscrews into two pieces) the camera is just 6.4 inches off the ground for extremely low angle or macro photography out in the field. Another way to get the camera low is to reverse the center column which could be used for macro photography or copy work.SLIK even designed a new head for the SPRINT series. This ball head features a precision milled aluminum ball for smooth reliable camera movements. This head can easily handle a camera up to 3.5 pounds in weight.
