The Slik Pro 700DX tripod is constructed from SLIK's strong AMT alloy (Aluminium-Magnesium-Titanium) alloys, which offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. A groove in each leg-section tubing prevents the leg from twisting and once the leg is extended, a simple lock secures it into position. This professional model also offers three leg-angle positions for quick setup on inclined or uneven ground. Coupled with the added benefit of a gearless and reversible centre column, this tripod is suitable for professional or enthusiast amateur photographers
