Product Description
SLIK designers carefully examined the trends in compact digital cameras and the needs of those owners then created a new tripod from the ground up. The SLIK SPRINT PRO has the features that are required of a full sized tripod, a maximum height of 64 inches reaches eye level yet the SPRINT PRO folds to an impressively compact 18.9 inches and weighs in at just 31.4 ounces (a fraction less than 2 pounds) for easy travel.The emphasis on the SPRINT PRO is ease of use. Any tripod should be easy to use, so that more time is spent concentrating on the subject and enjoying photography, than stressing about the equipment. This tripod makes setting up simple and secure with fast, easy to use SLIK speed release leg locks, gearless center column for quick height adjustments, and 3 position adjustable angle legs for easy set up on uneven ground or steps.The adjustable legs angles can also be used to lower the tripod. When used with the built-in short center column, (the included center column unscrews into two pieces) the camera is just 6.4 inches off the ground for extremely low angle or macro photography out in the field. Another way to get the camera low is to reverse the center column which could be used for macro photography or copy work.SLIK even designed a new head for the SPRINT series. This ball head features a precision milled aluminum ball for smooth reliable camera movements. This head can easily handle a camera up to 4.5 pounds in weight.

Light weight yet sturdy December 28, 2005

When I first got the tripod I had my doubts about it handling a full size DSLR with a heavy lens. After several outings with it I am amazed at how well it performs. The ball head takes a bit of getting use to but now I love it. This tripod even when fully extended is a work horse. For those low to the ground macro shots it is super. The legs fold out and the main shaft screws into. Versatility is the key with this tripod! At just over 2 pounds it is a joy to carry with me on those mountain hikes to the falls or anywhere. My much heavier Manfrotto is collecting dust now because when I hit the outdoors with my camera I carry only my Silk Sprint Pro GM!
Slik travel tripod great for digital cameras July 27, 2008
Dean McCallum (Pensacola, FL USA)
A great product! I had an older generic tripod that was heavier, bigger, and more suited for video camera use. It's perfect for my Canon EOS Rebel XTi, though when this tripod is fully extended it struggles to deal with my 70-300mm Canon lens. It's great with my 70mm Sigma macro lens
