Key Features
The Sherpa Max Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with FPH-62QS Arca-Type Ball Head from Fotopro is a lightweight and versatile carbon fiber travel tripod with an Arca-Type compatible ball head. It has a load capacity of 26.5 pounds and a maximum height of 68.9" yet folds down to a compact length for storage or travel. The center column can be removed, and the legs spread out wide for low-perspective shooting from a height of just 9.5". Once removed, the center column can also be combined with the removable leg to form a monopod for moving more quickly, like when shooting action or wildlife.
The center column incorporates a ballast hook that can add stability by suspending a weight beneath the tripod. The hook can be unscrewed to reveal that it doubles as a wrench for making adjustment to the tripod, and also to reveal a storage compartment that contains an adjustable smartphone clip with an Arca-type mounting base.
FPH-62QS Arca-Type Ball Head
The FPH-62QS dual panoramic ball head offers rotation at the base and under the quick release platform. It has two bubble levels and includes an Arca-type compatible quick release plate. It provides tension adjustment and has a numbered scale on the base for precision movement.
Monopod Leg with Padded Grip
One leg of the tripod features a padded grip for added comfort and grip. It can be unscrewed and attached to the removable center column to form a convenient 72.8" tall monopod for situations when a tripod is too bulky or slow, like when shooting sports or wildlife.
Center Column with Accessory Storage and Ballast Hook
The center column is operated with a rapid release knob with an ergonomic three-wing design, with a buffered movement design to prevent sudden accidental movement that may cause camera or lens damage. It is made of carbon fiber and features a ballast hook for added stability. The ballast hook unscrews to reveal a storage compartment that contains a smartphone holding clip and a leg wrench for adjusting the tripod.
Removable Rubber Feet
Each leg has a rubber foot for traction on most surfaces, which can be removed to reveal a steel spike for use on slick or icy surfaces.
Dual Expansion Holes for Added Versatility
The leg spider incorporates dual threaded accessory mounts that allow accessories to be attached via a magic arm or similar extension. Easily add a microphone, compact LED light, monitor, or more to create custom setups. The included leg wrench can be combined with the included smartphone holder to act as a magic arm and monitor.
