Despite its small size, it supports relatively heavy loads for its class, thanks to the 10-layer carbon-fiber
leg tubes and thoughtful design. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Key Features & Benefits

• Lightweight carbon-fiber construction
  The legs use premium carbon-fiber (10-layer manufacturing) for low weight, high strength and good vibration
  dampening — ideal for travel or handheld carry. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Compact fold-down size
  With folded/closed length around ~215 mm (~8.5″) according to one spec, it packs down very small so it’s
  ultra-portable for backpacks or carry-on. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Detachable 2-section SL-100 center column
  The inclusion of the SL-100 lets you extend working height when needed, or remove for low-angle/macro
  stability. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• High load capacity (for size)
  Though small, the tripod is rated for loads up to ~15 kg (33 lb) for the tripod itself, and the center
  column rated ~12 kg (26 lb) making it suitable for many mirrorless/DSLR + moderate lens setups.

• Low minimum height / macro capability
  The tripod’s minimum height (legs only) is ~58 mm (~2.3″) in one spec, making it useful for table-top,
  macro, or creative low-angle shots. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
• Versatile leg angle adjustment
  Semi-automatic leg angle locks let you set the legs at multiple angles (e.g., 22°, 55°, 85°) for uneven
  terrain or low-angle shooting. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
• Interchangeable feet and accessory port
  Rubber feet and metal spikes allow use on different surfaces; a ¼″ accessory port lets you attach
  flex-arms/microphones etc. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
