OSN Carbon Fiber Tripod w/ 3-way Panhead (3 Leg Section)

Carbon Fiber and Magnesium alloy tripods, with a superior strength to weight ratio, have redefined tripods for all types of digital, video, 35mm and SLR format cameras. The OS-361 is a far superior product in comparison to the traditional tripod which is constructed of aluminum alloy. Using carbon fiber and magnesium has created a product that is a third less weight, yet three times stronger than a tripod constructed of aluminum. This innovative tripod is designed to meet the many needs of today s photographer. At a maximum operating height of 58.5 inches, it s perfect for your standard shots, and with a minimum operating height of 18.5 inches, with standard center column, it allows for those close to ground tripod setups. Carry the unit out into the field and you ll immediately experience the weight advantage. At less then 3 pounds it s easy to move the tripod from location to location with very little effort. One other factor that has not been overlooked was how to make it easy to first set up the tripod, and then make quick final adjustments. The solution was to employ a quick lever leg lock system using materials that compliment the concept of strength at a lighter weight. As a result, the composite material used to construct the leg locks is an engineer grade glass reinforced nylon resulting in a strong durable locking system, while adding very little overall weight to the product. The PH-85 professional 3-way panhead is constructed of die cast aluminum. The head rotates 360 degrees horizontally, 90 degrees vertically, and tilts 90 degrees forward and 45 degrees back. It features a quick release camera mounting platform and special double safety lock for simple mounting and dismounting of the camera. It includes a retractable video alignment pin. It has fluid movement, which allows the photographer to have precise control. Rubberized handles and a level bubble allow for precise leveling.
