Together, the three legs can be can be positioned for a minimum height of 47.3″ to a maximum height of 61.0″ with the center column fully raised.

Cameras, lenses, or sport optics that are compatible with a 1/4″-20 mount can be connected to the QS-29 Quick Release Plate, which is secured to the tripod’s pan-and-tilt head using a quick release cam lock. Using its pan bar, the head can be rotated 360°, and tilted backwards or forwards. Additionally, the cam lock assembly can be rotated 360° independently of the head. To change from a landscape to portrait orientation, the cam lock assembly’s friction lock can be loosened while the attached camera, lens, or sport optic is physically held in place so that it continues to face the subject. The head itself can then be rotated 90° toward the left, and tilted 90° forward before closing the cam lock assembly’s friction lock.
