Ideal for shooting nature, fashion, or sports, the TR-17L Aluminum Tripod with Arca-Type Ball Head from Magnus belongs in your gear bag or backpack. The TR-17L has a load capacity of over 17.6 pounds, and it features a dual-action ball head with pan control for precisely aiming any camera and lens combination on it. Adjustable 4-section legs with flip-lock joints can adjust up to 77" high to shoot over a crowd, and the reversible center column lets the camera be positioned just inches from the ground. A short center column is included for low-angle shots, and one of the tripod legs unscrews and becomes a monopod that's adjustable up to 82.5". When a tripod is too slow or cumbersome for moving and quickly setting up your next shot, the mobility of a lightweight monopod will support a camera and lens throughout an entire event.
The durable aluminum construction can handle the bumps and impacts of location shoots and travel, and the reverse-folding legs provide a folded length of 19", allowing it to fit anywhere there's a little space. The flip-lock joints allow the tripod to set up quickly and break down just as fast, to shoot and quickly move to the next location. The legs have independent spread to provide a level setup on uneven terrain, plus three locking positions for low-perspective positioning. The 2-section telescoping center column is removable and reversible, so the camera can be positioned just inches above the ground for extreme angles or incredible macro shots.
The dual-action ball head is the perfect companion for the TR-17L and allows for rapid setup and aim. The ball head has separate locking knobs for the ball and pan for minute adjustments to camera angle and position. The 90° notch allows switching from landscape to portrait orientation in seconds, and the integrated bubble level is there to confirm alignment with the horizon. The included Arca-type plate securely fits into the ball head in seconds. If using multiple cameras, put an Arca-type plate on all of them for rapid swapping.
