This Sherpa 200R Tripod with PH-157Q 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head from Velbon supports up to 8.8 lb, measures 24.4″ when folded, and includes a quick release plate. Its 3-section legs each feature flip locks for fast deployment, and can be positioned for a minimum height of 23.5″ to a maximum height of 53.0″, or 65.9″ with its push-and-pull, rapid center column fully raised. To further enhance stability on a wide variety of surfaces, each leg includes a rubber foot.
Cameras, sport optics, or camcorders that are compatible with a 1/4″-20 mount can be connected to the quick release plate, which is secured to the tripod’s pan-and-tilt head using a quick release cam lock. The head can be rotated 360°, tilted 60° backwards, 90° forwards, or 90° sideways for portrait orientation. Both the 360° rotation as well as the backward or forward tilt movements function simultaneously and can be set in place using the pan bar’s integrated twist lock. When changing from a landscape to portrait orientation, the sideways tilt can be independently adjusted and secured.
