This tripod is ideal for the extreme outdoors. The
rubber feet of this tripod can be exposed to reveal
spikes that can be placed in uneven ground, such as
in between rocks. Another useful feature of this tripod is
it’s variable angle leg spread. Each leg can be angled
independently from 45˚ to 175˚. Which is ideal for leaning
the tripod against an angled wall. This tripod can support
camcorders, cameras, spotting scopes, and large binoculars.
