The YUNTENG VCT-999RM Professional Aluminum Alloy Video Tripod is built for videographers and photographers who demand rock-solid stability without sacrificing portability. Constructed from aerospace-grade 6063T aluminum alloy and PA-757 ABS resin, this 4-section tripod supports up to 5 kg and stretches from 65 cm to a commanding 206 cm working height, making it ideal for DSLR, mirrorless, DV, and lightweight camcorder setups using a standard 1/4" screw.
At its core is a two-way fluid pan & tilt head with rocker arm that delivers buttery-smooth 360° panoramic panning and precise tilting from +90° to -65°, letting you capture every angle with cinematic control. Quick-release leg locks and a movable centre column allow instant height adjustments, while the integrated bubble level and hoof-shaped non-slip feet keep every shot perfectly balanced — even on uneven terrain.
