A: The maximum height of 56.3" would take into account the fully raised center column.

Q: 2. Why no specs?? How can i buy one sans “Ball-Head??”

A: This is a new item and specs are forthcoming. This tripod does not come without ball head.

Q: 3. Can the legs be locked at other angle besides the stated 23, 50 or 80 degree? Some tripod allows the legs to be locked at any angle between 0 and 90.

A: No. This has set angles.

Q: 4. Can I use this head without the handle? IOW, can I tighten the tilt angle and remove the handle?

Q: 6. Is this tripod compatible with the peak design capture camera clip?

A: Yes. It is compatible with the peak design plate. That’s what I use. Anything tripod/head that says Arca Swiss will work.

Q: 7. For the sake of weight and a more solid base would it be advisable to consider removing the long center column and using just the short replacement column? AND what is the height of the tripod fully extended at that height (without the tall center column)?
