Sunpak Platinum Plus 48" Compact Tripod

Get increased performance and extraordinarily sharp pictures

Keep your camera steady and take crystal clear photos with this super-lightweight, compact tripod. Constructed from tough, light aluminum, this tripod offers many features typically found on much larger, more expensive tripods. This particular tripod can be extended to an impressive 48 inches (123cm) tall, and can stand as low as 14.6 inches (37cm). Folded, it is under 15 inches long, and it weighs a mere 1.5 pounds (680g) for easy portability. Despite its small size, this tripod can easily support 2.6 pounds (1.2kg) for use with digital SLR equipment.

In addition to its sturdy construction, this tripod also features a 3-way adjustable panhead that allows for smooth panning and tilting when shooting video, and easy adjustments during still photography. A quick-release plate -- complete with non-slip cork pad and video indexing pin -- makes it easy to remove your camera and shoot handheld with the flick of a lever.
