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 head with easy-to-use quick release.

The SLIK 50) DLX comes complete with a solid SLIK 2-way fluid pan head incorporating an easy to grip pan handle with full angle adjustments. The panhandle is long enough to give excellent leverage for smooth panning. There is a bubble level built into the base of the head so the tripod can be leveled quickly after being set up. The head also has a video quick release plate for fast mounting and un-mounting of the camera.

This lightweight video tripod folds down to just 27 inches, and with a weight of 5.6 lbs it’s an excellent tripod to take on location.
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.

Value. Today it's more important than ever. Compare the price and features of the PRO 500 DX to other manufacturer’s professional camera supports and you will see that dollar for dollar and feature for feature, this is one of the best values in a light and versatile camera support.
