Key Features
Modular “Systematic” Design: The top platform can be removed and replaced with accessories like a geared center column, a levelling base, or a video half-ball adapter.
G-Lock Mechanism: Introduced significant improvements in rigidity and speed over older threaded locks, featuring a “gravity lock” effect where higher vertical loads actually strengthen the lock.
Anti-Rotation Legs (ALR): Allows all leg sections to be unlocked at once with a single twist of the wrist for rapid deployment.
