The OS-500 is the perfect tripod for lightweight applications when shooting with film, digital, or video cameras. It features a three way panhead, enabling the user to shoot both horizontal and vertical pictures, and a quick-release camera mounting platform that attaches to the base of your camera. With this platform attached, it is quick and easy to mount and remove your camera from the tripod. Simply open the sure lock lever on top of the panhead, slide the plate into the front channel on the panhead, relock the lever, and you’re ready to take pictures. The OS 500 also has three section aluminum legs with braces for added stability, and each leg includes quick lever leg locks for quick and easy leg positioning. Simply unlock the leg lever, extend the leg to the desired position, relock the leg lever, and begin taking pictures. A leveling bubble is included on the top of the leg connection bracket, which will ensure a pure horizontal and vertical picture when the tripod is leveled. With the geared center column, it’s easy and convenient to raise the panhead to the desired picture taking position. Non slip rubber feet provide steady, free-standing support. If you're looking for a quality lightweight tripod for your point and shoot or digital camera, then this is your model!
A quick tip from the professionals: if you use multiple cameras, have a quick release mounting platform for each camera. When using the tripod, this makes it simple to switch cameras without having to detach and reattach the mounting plate to your other camera.
