With the center column fully extended the maximum height achieved is 70.5 inches (58 inches with the column down). Each leg is made up of four sections that can be shortened or lengthened with the flip of a simple lever lock. This makes it easy to make the tripod a little taller or a little shorter as your terrain or needs change.N/AN/AEach leg can also be set to three different angles.

When the hook is not needed it retracts up into the center column to stay neatly out of the way.N/AN/ATwo of the legs come with padded wraps providing protection for your shoulder when carrying and making it a little more comfortable to make adjustments during cold weather.
