Load capacity is 10 lbs. and maximum height is 78"- enough height to allow standing underneath a binocular when it is pointed up at the night sky. An extra-tall tripod is extra strong at normal heights for photography and video usage because partially-extended legs are much stronger than fully-extended legs.
Tripod construction is black-anodized aluminum, the pan head is cast aluminum, with a total weight of 8 lbs. The pan head includes a quick release plate and panning handle. Also included is a padded carrying case.
Extra quick release plates are available for quick swapping of other devices (cameras, spotting scopes, etc.).
