When using a PTZ camera setup, skip the head as you don’t need it, with the E-Image Aluminum Tripod with Rising Center Column & QR Plate for PTZ Cameras. This set of tripod legs uses a P6 (Manfrotto 501) compatible quick release mechanism that lets you slide your camera (with QR plate mounted) directly onto the legs for a simpler and more stable setup. Though lightweight and easy to take with you, the legs support up to 26.5 lb of camera and remain stable, even with the geared center column at maximum extension.
With a height range of 33.25 to 92″, these legs can handle almost any situation needing a PTZ camera. It features a mid-level spreader that allows you to shoot on unlevel terrain, while retractable foot spikes have spin-down rubber shoes that make the tripod suitable for exterior and interior locations. The QR mechanism has both a 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threaded accessory mounting hole, and an included weight bag attaches to the legs, allowing you to add optional weight for added stability.
PTZ Solution
Using a PTZ camera eliminates the need for a fluid head, thus the GA230-PTZ replaces the fluid head with a P6 Quick Release Plate (Manfrotto 501 compatible) for quick setups.
Center Column
The geared center column of the tripod can extend 18″ and lock in place for high-angle shots.
Height Range
The tripod legs feature a height range of 33.25″ to 92″ with the center column fully extended.
Stability
The GA230-PTZ supports up to 26.5 lb. An included stone bag attaches to the legs, providing a place to hang extra weight (not included) for increased stability.
Accessory Mounting
A threaded 1/4″-20 mounting recess is located at the base of the central column for mounting accessory arms. The quick release mechanism also features two mounting recesses, a 1/4″-20 thread and a 3/8″-16 thread.
Bubble Level
A built-in bubble level helps you ensure that the tripod legs are level.
