Boasting a sleek ocean blue design and carbon fiber and aluminum construction, the Cyanbird can reach heights over 61 inches while being able to fold down to just 17.1 inches, making it easy to store in your backpack or camera bag. Robust aluminum flip locks allow for a fast and fumble-free setup every time, and the weight hook at the end of the center column adds stability. Plus, the upper section of the center-column contains three ¼-20 accessory mounts for added flexibility. The kit includes the N00P photo head, a double action ballhead with lock knob for easy operation and a ball lock and pan lock for precise positioning. The head also features a 90-degree notch for vertical shooting and a camera plate with 3-way screw for quick attachment. And for even more flexibility, the included padded carry case features an open-faced design when unfolded, giving you easy access to your tripod and other gear.
