Questions & Answers
I not very familiar with tripods. What is a three way adjustable head? Does it include vertical adjustment? How much vertical is typical? Thank you Expert Answer

The prior customer response did a great job of summarizing it. I would just add that while not all tripods have a height adjustable head, this tripod does. The range of adjustability will vary greatly from tripod to tripod.

How do you remove the center column? Expert Answer

You can adjust the center column by the instructions below, however, it does not appear it can be fully removed:

Loosen the center column height adjustment knob to change the relative height of the tripod head. Remove the lower section of the center column for ultra-low positioning. To help stabilize the tripod in windy conditions, hang a weight from the balance hook.

Most Recent Reviews Small when closed, small when opened by Anson, October 29, 2019
I know most tripods aren't meant to be for giants, but this one came out a little shorter than expected. The leg locking mechanism seems weak, but I haven't taken it into the mountains yet to see how they do on rougher terrain. We'll see how that wor...
