Dedicated to professional macro photographers, this tripod features a 90-degree center column mechanism built into the top casting. The center ball head ensures smooth and precise framing, and the M-lock System allows for a fast, easy to use, compact solution. The 200PL-PRO Plate compatible with Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-Swiss.
Please note: When unlocking the legs, only a 1/4 turn of the twist-locks is required. If the user over-turns the unlocking mechanism (keeps turning it), the legs can disassemble and come apart. Twist-lock legs are a benefit for at least two reasons. First, with one hand, all of the legs can be unlocked and extended very quickly. And two, if the user requires disassembling the legs, like for cleaning, this can be easily done without any hardware.
