It works as low as 57 cm, measured from the ground to the camera plate. Folded, it measures 84 cm end to end, for transport and storage.
75mm Bowl
The head sits in a 75mm bowl, so it levels on the legs and swaps for any other 75mm-bowl head.
5 Steps + 0 Counterbalance
Selectable counterbalance steps, plus a zero position, match the head to the camera's weight.
3 Steps + 0 Drag
Selectable fluid drag steps on pan and tilt, plus a zero position for fast, free moves.
