The FreeSpeed Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with Ball Head from SmallRig is a compact, carbon fiber tripod designed with travel photographers in mind. The legs feature a quick-tightening design, allowing for easy and efficient setup by tightening a single knob to lock all four sections. The 1.2mm thick, carbon fiber material used for the legs and center column ensures a lightweight design without compromising stability or load-bearing capacity. The center column features a quick-lock buckle for rapid height adjustment, plus a quick-detach hook on the bottom for convenient attachment and removal of camera equipment. Additionally, the center column has a removable, short-column function, providing down to a 5.1" height for low-angle shooting. The tripod includes an inverted ball head, allowing for a more compact and portable design when folded, due to its recessed structure. The head's Arca-type quick release features a rotating disk design without visible knobs, providing a sleek and minimalist appearance. The ball head is secured by a quick-lock buckle, allowing photographers to quickly and conveniently lock the ball head in place. With a load capacity of 17.6 pounds, the ball head can support DSLR and mirrorless cameras with lenses in the medium to telephoto range. Near the connection points of the tripod's legs are three 1/4"-20 threaded holes, allowing for the attachment of accessories such as a magic arm, a microphone, a monitor, or an image transmitter.
