The Slik Compact Tripod is compact and perfectly sized for travel. It folds down to only 14.17&quot (37.3 cm) and is lightweight (1.26 lb, 571.5 g). It reaches a maximum height of 38.83&quot (99.0 cm) and will support cameras, camcorders, or scopes weighing up to 2.75 lb (1.24 kg). It comes with a 2-way pan head with a textured surface to keep your camera or camcorder from slipping and an easy-grip pan handle for smooth panning and locking the head just where you want it to be.

The Compact improves upon the easy-to-use features of its predecessor, the popular Compact Tripod XL, by adding Slik Speed-Release leg locks which are faster and easier to operate than the traditional twist-lock legs. At the top of the center column is a bubble level to keep your equipment perfectly positioned. This tool is particularly useful for shooting landscapes and horizons.

The gearless &quotlift'n lock&quot center column features an oversize locking collar, and rubber leg tips provide traction outdoors and protect surfaces indoors. Lightweight and sized perfectly for fitting into a backpack or gear bag, the Compact II Tripod is an excellent tripod when you are on the go.
