The tripod extends via 5 sections, up to a height of 58.2in / 148cm and features twisting leg locks, a choice of retractable rubber or spiked feet, and has a payload capacity of 11lbs / 5kg.

It takes a couple of seconds for the hydraulics to lock the legs after releasing the clutch lever, so you need to hold the tripod in position for a little longer than you might anticipate.
