Question: What height does this tripod extend to?
Document: For the money it is a quality unit. Has a nice carry handle. Is also a monopod which is a good feature. I don't use that much either but it is innovative in how it locks in when you extend it. You twist the shaft to secure the leg at whatever height you desire. A little heavy but I think a very cool tripod. Well made and I would buy again if I did not have one.
For a entry level tripod it is a great tripod. Be careful if you extend your legs all the way the lowest level they are very small and could bend. The best feature of this is the removable monopod. I use that more than the tripod. I take a lot of photos at my sons Soccer games and at my daughters band competition's. It works great for a steady shot and being able to move about quickly.
However, the u4stm feels sturdier in use. Another advantage of the u4stm over the (much) more expensive 423px is the center brace that opens all the legs at once instead of struggling to open each leg independently. Of course, the disadvantage to this is that you can't extend the legs beyond the range imposed by the center brace (i.e. putting the legs out at a very large angle in order to lower the tripod to within inches of the ground).
The trigger ball pivot for adjusting is great. There are more levels on this than you can buy in a hardware store. I am not sure I need them but you may. I find if my picture is tilted I can straighten it in my computer so don't really need them. I like the height as the tripod extends to eye level and I am 6' so it is pretty high. I find it is well made and easily adjust and my camera seems secure.
Bought this with the likes of having mono pod and tripod combo. Tripod is sturdy as well as all the rest of it. Where it falls short and I do mean short is the monopod. Was recently using the monopod to take some wild life photos I found myself bending over to look through viewfinder which make you uncomfortable and causes a little shake. Reminded me of the old camera where you got under the hood. I like it overall but it needs more height to the monopod.
It's a little more heavy than I expected and the center column (monopod) is quite loose that it slowly slides down when you raise it up that I had to add an additional thin film of masking tape around its base to hold it up when it's tightened. And the monopod when used separately doesn't lock up its sections that it also slides down to its original height. I'm guessing that's probably why they discontinued the model. I should have bought a straight up tripod instead of this so-called tri-monopod.
Love the trigger grip, very easy to move and steady. Locks back in solidly. Legs extend quite well. Use for a large spotting scope with no trouble or balance issues. The easy mount attachments are so easy to use. Would buy again
This tripod is a great value for the price. It is lightweight and easy to operate. Even fully extended it is extremely stable.
awesome tripod. smooth and solid. it's a little heavier than i'd like for packing around - but not too too heavy. love this thing.
Good and sturdy but hear only cantors 30 degrees either side so if you need a tripod for portraiture not only landscape look elsewhere
Answer: Approximately 61 inches with the center column extended.
