The tripod that back-packers and frequent traveler dream about. Narrower diameter leg tubes yield greater weight reduction. The PRO 724 CF weights only 3.1 lbs but can reach 64.4 inches when fully extended. Four leg sections means the tripod retracts to a very small 18.1 inches closed. This small size is perfect for back-packs and fitting into suitcases. With a maximum capacity of 11 lbs the PRO 724 CF can handle a wide variety of cameras and lenses making a great choice for any photographer that needs to travel light. But should more weight be required this tripod has a hook at the bottom of the center column when extra weight can be hung.

Features of the SLIK PRO CF Carbon Fiber Series

When finishes this material is as much as 40% lighter than aluminium and very rigid, making it for applications from space vehicles to tripod legs. Slik sources it’s carbon fiber tubing in Europe from a manufacturer that specializes in carbon fiber.

A.R.S (Ant-Rotational System)
All the New SLIK PRO carbon fiber tripods feature a new A.R.S (Ant-Rotational System) designed into the legs and log locks. The A.R.S. systems prevent the leg tubes from rotating inside each other making it much easier to lock and release all the twist-release locks securely. The size of the rubber grips have also been increase in diameter to make them easier to operate.

Leg-Lock Type
Twist lock system with double nut ring (crown-cap) type (PAT.).

Multi-Angle Leg Locks
Each leg has an independent lock that sets in one 3 angles to vary the height and stance of the tripod. The three setting are for maximum height, waist level or low angle photography close to the ground. It also makes it easier to set up the tripod on uneven ground, steps or rocks.
