Very compact and can be carried in a backpack. The height can be adjusted in three stages, perfect for Sabiki fishing. It can also be used as a rod rest when you get tired. Currently sold out, with almost no stock in circulation. Used twice, but after each use, it was rinsed with fresh water and greased, so the tripod moves smoothly. There are no major scratches, but please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items. Thank you.
