Notes for Use:   
 
 
 Optimal for setups up to 12 kg; at maximum height or spread, stability may decrease with heavy telephoto lenses or spotting scopes.  
 
 

   Users report a robust wood finish that remains like new even after intensive use (e.g., saltwater); however, regular maintenance is recommended. 
 
  
 
 
  

    Without ball head; a separate head is required for precise alignment when using a spotting scope.  
  
 
 
 
 At 4.2 kg and with a packed size of 89 cm, it is not ultralight; less suitable for hiking than carbon models.   
 
 
 Metal clamps can get cold in very cold temperatures; gloves are recommended.
