Aluminum tripod made by SLIK, with a ball head. - Brand: SLIK - Type: Tripod - Features: With ball head - Material: Aluminum The impression is, above all, lightweight. It's a simple and easy-to-use, lightweight tripod. You might think the 2kg load capacity is unreliable, but since its release 20 years ago, you can now build quite good equipment within 2kg, so it's sufficient. The fact that it rises to a just-right height, not too low, is also good. It has a ball head, but it can be removed and replaced. Although it's old, there's no wobbling or looseness. The following is a copy and summary of an article from DC Watch. SLIK's "Sprint" series is an orthodox lever-lock aluminum tripod, and it creates a small, lightweight, and robust tripod without adopting any particularly novel mechanisms. There are several models in the Sprint series, but this model has a maximum extension of 163.5cm, which is the same height as a large tripod, while weighing 890g and folding down to 48cm. The pipe diameter is 2cm, and the legs are already thin, and since it's a 4-section tripod, the tip of the fourth section is worryingly thin, but it doesn't wobble even when a compact digital camera is placed on it. The load capacity is 2kg. By extending the legs without extending the elevator pole and removing the lower part of the elevator pole, you can take low-position shots with a total height of 16.2cm. You can choose from three levels of leg opening, including the low position. By removing the elevator pole and the head once and reinserting them upside down, you can attach the camera to the lower part of the elevator pole and do things like copying. The feet are 2-way, and when you lift the rubber tip with a screw, a pointed metal tip appears. You can use the metal tip when you want to stand firmly on uneven ground, and the rubber tip on floors where you don't want to scratch, such as indoors.
