The PRO 724 CFL has three leg sections that when fully closed make the tripod only 19.5 inches in length but fully extended to 62 inches. At just 3.62 lbs this light-weight carbon fiber tripod can handle up to 11 lbs of properly balanced equipment. Great for any situation where a very light-weight general purpose tripod is called for, the PRO 724 CFL has all the feature of the other PRO series carbon fiber tripods ans slightly smaller then the PRO 723 CFL
