This EX-330Q Tripod with 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head supports up to 4.4 lb, measures 19.9" when folded, and includes a quick release plate. Its 3-section legs each feature flip locks for fast deployment, and can be positioned for a minimum height of 19.7" to a maximum height of 45.3", or 57.5" with its push-and-pull, rapid center column fully raised. An integrated center brace allows the legs to be spread simultaneously as well as uniformly, and helps to hold them in place. A rubber foot is included on the bottom of each leg, further enhancing stability on a wide variety of surfaces.

Cameras, sport optics, or camcorders that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the quick release plate, which is secured to the tripod's pan-and-tilt head using a quick release cam lock. The head can be rotated 360°, tilted 60° backwards, 90° forwards, or 90° sideways for portrait orientation. Both the 360° rotation as well as the backward or forward tilt movements function simultaneously and can be set in place using the pan bar's integrated twist lock. When changing from a landscape to portrait orientation, the sideways tilt can be independently adjusted and secured.

A carry bag with a strap is provided for storage and transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. New to tripods. Question regarding quick release fit. Do plates fit a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT5?

A: Yes, as far as I know cameras come with a standard size threaded hole in the bottom that will match the screw on the quick release plate. Quick release plates from different tripods likely won't match. I have a couple of this type tripod. They are light-weight, inexpensive, and good for day excursions. Not super stable (especially with a heavy camera on top), but better than handheld in low light, etc. For more serious stuff I have a Manfrotto tripod. It's pretty heavy for quick hikes, but solid as a rock. Hope that helps.
