The Slik F163 Lightweight Aluminum Tripod with 3-Way Panhead is an extremely portable & affordable tripod with an integrated panhead that features a pan bar and independent adjustments for pan and tilt. The F163 supports loads up to 3.5 lb, so you'll be able to mount your DSLR, point & shoot, or compact camcorder to the 1/4"-20 stud of the included quick-release plate. The tripod reaches a maximum height of 51.8" with its center column fully extended. The geared, rack & pinion-style center column allows for fine adjustments to the tripod's height, and a center brace enhances its overall sturdiness. The aluminum F163 weighs only 2.3 lb and folds down to only 21.3" (including the panhead) for easy airline transport in a carry-on bag
