Specifications

Designed for the professional photographer that wont’ compromise,
where durability and steadfastness overshadow other concerns. The Pro
Series is a family of workhorse camera supports with ultra heavy-duty
construction. Use them with large format cameras (4x5, 8x10), medium
format, or digital SLRs and 35mm cameras with long heavy telephoto
lenses. Photographers that don’t travel light will find the heavy metal
construction of these tripods more than adequate. With professional
features like worm gear elevation of the center column, all metal leg and
joint construction, and the ability to hold up to 22 pounds of properly
balanced equipment, these tripods will give years of unyielding service.
— With a height of 78
3
⁄4˝ (that’s 6´ 6˝ off the ground!) the Professional can
handle just about any shooting situation where absolute stability is required.
— For those who need less height and lighter load capacity, the Professional II
supports up to 15 lbs. and has a maximum working height of 72
1
⁄4˝. With a folded
length of 37 inches, this tripod makes taking this kind of durability on the road
just a little bit easier.
— For those who need to get above the crowd, the Professional 4 will elevate your camera to new heights. With a maximum working height of
99.5˝ (that’s 8
1
⁄4´) this solid draft horse of a tripod will empower you to experience a new higher perspective in your photography.

■ Made of heavy duty construction, they are
designed to shrug off the abuses of profes-
sional use, allowing you to concentrate on
creativity while assuring you of a rock-solid
base for sharp, magnificent images.
■ 3-position leg angle adjustment locks allow
you to set the tripods to 3 different height
positions. Each lock is independent, so you
can set up quickly and easily on steps, or
uneven terrain.
■ Rugged, round tubular legs are grooved,
so unlike standard tubular legs, they
won’t turn while you’re tightening or
loosening the leg locks of any section.
Allows simple and secure locking and lets
you extend the leg from any section,
regardless of the order.
■ Oversized, “Sof-Touch” rubber contoured
leg locks fit and feel pleasant. They let you
lock securely with minimum force.
■ By exchanging the center elevation column
with the optional short center column you
can go very low. Makes it ideal for macro,
copy work and low angle applications.
■ The professional series can be used with a
wide variety of cameras. The reversible
head attachment screw on the center eleva-
tion post lets you use heads with either
large or small screw holes. The screw not
in use fits into the side of the head where
it's out of the way but always handy.
■ 10 cm indexed reference marks on each
second leg section permit precise leg height
adjustments, while the specially designed
rubber leg tips keep the tripod balanced,
and stable, by always maintaining plane
contacts with the ground.
■ Precision worm gear elevation center
columns provide for critical elevation con-
trol. The positive worm gear design assures
that there is no slippage or drifting, with
heavy equipment, even if the center column
is left unlocked.
The Professional Head
Every bit as important as the legs is the tripod head. the Professional Pan
Head is a solidly constructed 3-way pan head with the features that
uncompromising photographers are looking for.
■ Large built-in camera platform to handle the
mount bases on 4x5 and 8x10 view cameras.
■ The head has dual axis bubble levels for easy
accurate leveling of your camera. The bubble
levels are recessed in the camera platform to
protect against being damage.
■ This head has both large (3/8-16) and
standard (1/4-20) threaded camera mounting
posts. When one is not in use, the post fits into
a socket in the side of the head where it
is out of the way yet always available.
