The SLIK PRO CF-834 has four leg sections that when fully extended reach a height of over 1.6m but when completely retracted the tripod is just 480mm in length. It has a weight of just 1.65kgs but is capable of handling 7kgs of properly balanced equipment. So the SLIK PRO CF-834 would be usable with the highest number of tripod heads from SLIK and others the tripod has an industry standard 3/8 mount post that is reversible to 1/4-20.
The 800 series carbon fibre tripods all have legs made up of carbon fibre material that is actually comprised of 8 layers of inter-woven carbon strands that are then bonded together in a sealed, high-pressure furnace producing strong, light weight carbon fibre. The legs also feature A.R.S (Anti-Rotational System) is designed into the leg locks and do not allow the individual legs sections to rotate inside each other. Each leg also has an independent lock that sets in one 3 angles to vary the height and stance of the tripod. The three setting are for maximum height, waist level or low angle photography close to the ground.
The four leg sections are secured and loosened with twist locks. Because the legs are non-rotating, you can unlock all of a leg’s stages at once by twisting the three large rubber grips with one hand. This enables fast setup.
