The black T-005SK T-0S Series Travel Tripod with B-00 Ball Head from Sirui is a 5-section support with aluminum legs that extend, along with the 2-stage rapid center column, by unlocking each twist lock section. Therefore, the tripod can reach a maximum height of 53. 8". With three variable leg angles, independent leg spread, and the removable center column, the legs can completely splay out to have a minimum height 3. 1". To store or carry the 2 lb tripod, the legs fold 180° to produce a compact 12. 2" support.
