Travel Tripod with Quick-Release Lever Locks
This aluminum kit for demanding photographers combines four-section legs with the Advanced 494 ball head. It offers stable support for mirrorless cameras, direct Arca-type compatibility, and quick operation when shooting landscapes, architecture, and portraits on the go.
Advanced 494 Ball Head
Three independent controls
The main knob locks the ball head; separate friction control helps balance the weight of the setup; and the independent panoramic lock allows you to rotate the camera horizontally without changing the tilt. Composing is fast, precise, and easy to control, even with a heavier lens.
Compatible with Arca-type systems
200PL-PRO, L-bracket, cage, and lens mount
The integrated mount accepts the included 200PL-PRO plate as well as other compatible Arca-type plates and extensions. The camera can be mounted directly in the cage, on the L-bracket, or via a telephoto lens mount without the need for an adapter.
Quick setup in the field
Lever Lock, three leg angles, and Easy Link
Lever locks let you instantly see the status of each section and precisely adjust the leg length. Independent angles of 22°, 54°, and 89° help on uneven surfaces, while Easy Link allows you to attach a compatible arm with a light, monitor, or reflector.
The tripod is designed and manufactured in Italy and operates in a temperature range of −30 to +70 °C.
