The black-red IQuick3Pod 36.4 Carbon Fiber Tripod from UniqBall is a 4-section support with 10-layer carbon fiber-constructed legs, and upon turning the twist locks and extending the legs, the tripod can reach a maximum height of 55.9". Moreover, the tripod has independent leg spread, which allows it to conform to uneven terrain, but the legs can completely splay out to have a minimum height of 3.5", and it folds down to 22.2" when not in use. Located at the top of the tripod, the spider has a built-in leveling base that helps to straighten out your horizons, and also features a 3/8"-16 male threaded mount. The maximum loading capacity of the tripod is 77.2 lb, so it is capable of handling large telephoto lenses and cameras without moving an inch.

Q: 1. Are there only the two leg angles?

A: I am not sure of your question. There are pull out angle blocks at the top of each leg. When you pull these out the legs will completely flip up to cover center column. By raising the center column and flipping the legs over the column it will reduce the length of the tripod for traveling. But after seeing some tripod photos on B&H I how understand your question, and yes there are only two legs angles available to you.
