Designed for professional optics users and photographers who need to move fast in the field without sacrificing performance or stability, the Swarovski Optik PCT Professional Carbon Tripod Legs extends to a maximum height of 69" and can hold up to 46 pounds of gear despite it's light 4-pound weight.

Made with 6 layers of carbon fiber to make it extremely lightweight yet rigid, the four leg sections extend with simple twist locks for fast set up and break down, with each leg capable of being independently placed in one of three angle positions to accommodate extremely uneven/rough/rocky terrain. The extendable center column is detachable for more compact packing, and features a hook at the bottom to hang bags or weights for added stability. Its head mount has dual 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threads to allow almost any photo/video/field head or optic to be attached to the top. Two removable shoulder pads make carrying it more comfortable.
