Built with photo enthusiasts and students in mind, the SLIK ABLE 300DX is a durable tripod with classic features.
The legs of the ABLE 300DX extend and retract securely, loosen and tighten the leg lock knob to extend or shorten them. 3 position adjustable angle leg locks make for easy set up on uneven ground or steps. These leg locks also allow you to lower the height of the tripod. Combined with the SLIK ABLE 300DX Short Column and the tripod can be lowered to 470mm for low angle or macro photography.
For even lower angle photography the standard gearless center column can be reversed so the head is at the bottom of the center column. This gives you the ability to photograph with the camera just a few inches off the ground.
The tripod kit comes with the ABLE 300DX Pan Head, a compact and all-metal, this head has the strength and durability to handle many digital and 35 mm cameras and lenses.
The 3-way pan head has a metal quick release plate that positively locks into the head. One lever operation of the quick release lock allows fast mounting and un-mounting of the camera.
A 2-handle, 3-way platform with a camera mounting system with a "quick shoe" that allows the camera to be attached and detached quickly and reliably. A set of vertical positions is possible quickly. The "pan handle" with a flat grip is easy to apply force and can be operated reliably.
The leg opening angle can be adjusted in three ways. By sliding the "leg angle adjustment locks" on the leg joint part, it is possible to set three tripod stages of high, middle, and low. In addition, it is also possible to adjust the opening angle of the three legs separately. It can be quickly placed straight for a variety of situations, such as stairs and uneven terrain. The operability of the "leg angle adjustment locks" is common to other SLIK tripods such as "The Professional" series. Using a click ball, a solid sense of operation can be realized.
The thumb-turn locking mechanism allows for intuitive leg lock & unlocking
The top row uses a round pipe, and the second and third stages are D-shaped aluminum pipes. Pipes do not rotate and can be stretched smoothly.
