The Slik PRO 700SVH Tripod System with SVH-501 Video Head is a combination of heavy-duty tripod legs with independent leg articulation and a video head with fixed pan and tilt drag. Supporting up to 6.6 pounds of camera gear, it is well suited for wildlife videography with full-sized DSLRs and telephoto lenses. The combination provides fast setup and leveling, while providing just enough drag for smooth pans and tilts. The pan handle can be mounted on the head for left- or right-hand operation, and it can articulate through a full 360° so you can set the pan handle where you need it depending on the shot.
Made from an alloy of aluminum, magnesium, and titanium, the legs are up to 40% stronger than heavier standard aluminum alloy legs for the same weight. The flip lock levers allow for rapid deployment of the legs and the built-in center column allows you to raise your camera over a foot without adjusting the legs. The legs are covered in foam for your comfort when carrying.
