The black-red IQuick3Pod 40.4 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 59.8". 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 3.7", and it folds down to 22.6" 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 99.2 lb, so it is capable of handling large telephoto lenses and cameras without moving an inch.
