From the inventor of the 7518 tripod comes a new generation of this rock solid legendary tripod and head kit. The tripod and head design has been updated for maximum support and fluid pan and tilt movements. Our new REDLINE brand Pushes Photography's Limits! The REDLINE 75183 is an all aluminum tripod with a black non-glare anodized finish. The legs are a 3-section double strut design with a mid level spreader. For fast solid setups, the non-freeze ergonomic leg locks side flip open and close. A 75-millimeter claw ball adds mobility and stability to your shooting. Rubber feet provide surface traction, indoors and out. Maximum height for the REDLINE 75183 has been increased to 72 inches, minimum height is 33 inches. Tripod weight without a head is 8 pounds. Matched up perfectly to the REDLINE 75183 tripod is the F183 Head, which can support up to 18 pounds. Designed for heavy-duty use with all cameras this head offers fluid smooth 360 degree panning and continuous range of fluid 90 degree up-and-down tilting control through our new side knob fluid control. The Sliding quick release plate system affords variable balance control and is compatible with Manfrotto 501,503 and P200 quick release plates. Separate, easy-grip knobs lock and unlock the panning and tilting mechanisms. A telescoping adjustable and removable pan handle provides easy maneuverability and is included as well as 3/8-16 and ¼-20 mounting screws.
