The Scout’s features are carefully selected for the active photographer. Its 4-section legs can be independently spread and adjusted at multiple angles and heights to level your camera on uneven ground. The center column has a retractable weight hook so you can add stability, especially in windy situations. The column can be separated into two parts to get your camera down to ground level, perfect for macro photography and unique perspectives. The Scout ball head uses just one knob for smooth and intuitive operation; and, it incorporates the ProMaster Dovetail quick release system (Arca-type) so you can use the included quick-release plate, an L Bracket, and a host of other compatible accessories.
