"The National Geographic Travel Photo Tripod Small in Carbon Fiber is a compact, sturdy, and lightweight carbon fibre tripod kit that is also highly versatile. It extends up to a height of 158cm, folds down to just 38,1 cm and is easy to pack in most bags. The National Geographic Travel Photo Tripod Small is ideal for CSCs, mirrorless and DSLR cameras and payloads up to 8kg. The tripod features three leg-angle stops allowing versatile positioning on almost any surface and a 5-sections leg twist-lock mechanism. This smart and extremely lightweight tripod is designed with a full-size monopod integrated into it . To use the monopod, just remove the tripod leg with the padded leg-warmer and attach the centre column. Since lightness is a travel tripod must, photographers can rely on the spring-loaded hook located at the bottom of the centre column to add additional weight for extra stability when needed. The ball head is engineered to deliver the smoothest movements when framing a desired shot and firmly locks equipment exactly where you need it. If you're into landscape photography, you'll love the separate head's pan lock that allows photographers to take amazing panorama shots easily and precisely thanks to its 360° pan index. The ball head mounts a quick release plate with a 1/4''-20 camera screw on top. It comes in its own bag for easy storage and transport. "
