3Pod Orbit Aluminum Tripod for DSLR Photo Video Cameras, 3 Section Extension Legs, Bubble Level, with Bag. 69" This 3POD item is covered by a 5 year warranty. Orbit Overhead Shot System The Orbit Overhead Shot System goes above and beyond. Besides being height adjustable like typical tripod shafts, the Orbit Overhead Shot System allows theshaft to pivot away from the tripod body, for low angle, overhead, macro, and other specialty shots. The shaft can also be rotated independent of the tripod head, for pans, tilts, and panoramas. Leg Spreaders Each leg is topped by a leg angle lock, which allows the legs to independently be spread to 85, 60 and 35 angles. This is useful to get best stability on uneven terrain, inclines, and steps, as well as for composing low angle shots. There is a bubble level on the top plate to assist in leveling the tripod. Foot Spikes When used indoors, unscrew the foot covers so that the spikes are covered by the rubber feet. These will ensure a better grip on smooth flooring, and prevent damage. For outdoor use or on rocky ground, screw the rubber feet up to expose the spikes. These will provide better grip on soft or impressionable surfaces. Leg Grip One of the legs has a soft grip surface on it. In cold weather handle the tripodby this surface to avoid touching the colder sections. Flip Locks For ease of opening and closing, nothing beats Flip Locks. Feel confident in thestability of your rig with the firm snap of the Flip Lock clicking shut. Reversible 3/8" and "-20 Screw Mount The shaft can easily be changed from 3/8" to "-20 screw mount by rotating the top plate until the screw mount comes out, then flipping it over.
