They are light as feather at 0.8kg. Its 3 section, carbon fiber legs can support up to 5.5kg. It can stand as high as 135cm, as low as 35cm, and a mere 51cm when folded. It sports a twist lock mechanism to lock the legs.
Other features that most tripods lack are present in this tripod, like the bubble leveler and the hook on the center shaft to attach a sandbag to add stability in windy conditions.
