The AGM Schonfeld Tripod with Pistol Grip Head is an aluminum-cast tripod with 4-section carbon fiber legs. The twist leg locks open to extend a folded support of 20.5" to a maximum height of 63". With its three variable leg angles and independent leg spread, you can go to a minimum height of 6.3" to get those low-angle shots. The 2.6 lb tripod includes a pistol grip head with a quick release system, and the head can be maneuvered by squeezing the trigger; letting go of the trigger locks the head in the desired position. The proprietary quick release system rotates 360° by releasing the lever. At the same time, the head itself has an independent pan lock that allows you to rotate the entire head 360°. The tripod can support camera equipment weighing up to 15.7 lb.
