The tripod legs are made of carbon - the tripod body and other components are made of aluminum and magnesium. The tripod allows the tripod legs to be folded up to achieve a small pack size and also the option of fixing the center column not only vertically, but also continuously horizontally in any position. The center column can be adjusted by 180 degrees. In combination with the 3 lockable angle settings of the tripod legs, this series is perfect for macro shots close to the ground.
