The 3 lb tripod, with its three independent leg spreads of 20°, 45°, and 80°, can go to a minimum height of 7.6". The center-column is also reversible, so you can do macro photography.
In a normal position, the center-column has a suspension loop that enables you to hang a weighted sandbag or camera bag to counterbalance for better stability against uneven terrain.

In addition, the VEO 2 BH-50 Ball Head has three independent locking knobs for the ball movement, which has a lateral tilt of -90 to 40°. Also, a friction control for the same ball and a pan lock, enables you to pan a complete 360°.
