Product Description
Solid Performance, Solid Value - The NEW SLIK PRO 500 DX
A.M.T. makes all the difference.
SLIKs exclusive A.M.T. super Aluminum-Magnesium-Titanium alloy legs make the
PRO 500 DX tripod rock steady, yet lighter than it looks. The A.M.T. alloy has a
40% greater strength to weight ratio than standard aluminum, making it lighter
and stronger than the standard metal used in most tripods.
The PRO 500 DX is capable of supporting the weight of Professional Digital
cameras and heavy telephoto lenses up to a 300mm f/2.8. This complete tripod
offers advanced amateurs and student photographers the strength and stability
they need, while its size and the use of A.M.T. alloy make it lighter and more
portable than many professional offerings from other manufacturers.
PRO 500 DX TRIPOD
A tripod should be solid and easy to use, so you spend more time concentrating
on your photography than you do your equipment.
The PRO 500 DX makes setting up easy with secure, speed-release leg locks
(pictured left). A gearless center column and 3-position, adjustable angle leg
locks allow easy set-up on uneven ground or steps. The adjustable angle locks
combined with the PRO 500 DX Short Column (optional accessory) allow the tripod
to be lowered to just 15 inches for very low angle or macro photography in the
field.
Stable all-metal PRO 500 DX 3-Way Head with
easy-to-use quick release.
The included PRO 500 DX all-metal 3-way pan head has over a solid pound of
finely cast and machined aluminum. It uses a fast and easy to use quick-release
plate to securely mount the camera on the tripod.
PRO 500 DX 3-WAY HEAD
Already have a favorite tripod head you would like to use?
Or, would you rather use a SLIK professional ball head? No problem. The PRO 500
DX head can be removed and the tripod legs have a standard 1/4-20 thread that
can also accept a thread adapter to 3/8 in. Between these 2 sizes, the PRO 500
DX can mount almost any tripod head on the market today. The sturdy legs can
handle up to 10 lbs of equipment with ease.
