The Smith-Victor CT53 Aluminum Tripod extends from 12" to a maximum height of 53". It weighs 1.4 lb and can hold up to 6.9 lb of gear. The tripod’s 5-section legs have twisting locks to individually change the height of each leg. The locking legs extend from 10.8 to 40.5” with a quick twist an pull motion. Three leg angles allow you to position the tripod in a variety of ways. A padded grip on one of the legs aids in carrying the tripod, and rubber feet keep it stable on slippery surfaces. Included with the tripod is a shoulder bag for added comfort and protection during transport.
