The tripod is solidly constructed and features many interesting details, all at an extremely attractive price-performance ratio. Thanks to the built-in tilt head, the tripod is suitable for both photo and video recordings and includes a panoramic scale on the tripod head. The alignment of the tripod is facilitated by two spirit levels on the tripod head and an additional bubble level on the tripod shoulder. A very practical feature is the crank-operated center column, which allows the tripod to extend to a maximum working height of up to 172 cm. The clamp quick-release locks enable the tripod to be adjusted in seconds. Unlike many entry-level tripods in the lowest price segment, the tripod head on the walimex FW-3970 Semi-Pro tripod, which is attached via a 3/8 inch connection, is removable and interchangeable. The quick-release plate features a locking lever and a non-slip cork coating. The oval-shaped tripod legs are robustly designed and, combined with the built-in center brace, provide above-average stability for this entry-level tripod. A hook located below the center column allows for the attachment of additional weight, providing extra stability for your shots. The tripod has a maximum load capacity of approximately 4 kg, making it ideal for use with compact and DSLR cameras. The walimex FW-3970 Semi-Pro tripod with tilt head comes with a black transport and storage bag.
