The SLIK Sprint Pro EZ tripod is based on SLIK’s successful Sprint Pro travel tripod. It has been improved in several areas however to make it even more suitable for easy travel. Although it weighs a mere 890gms, and collapses to a compact 48cm, it extends to become a full-size tripod with a maximum operating height of 162cm for comfortable eye-level viewing.

As the Sprint Pro EZ has been designed for portability and ease of use, SLIK’s speed release leg locks makes extension and adjustment of leg lengths a simple, hassle-free operation and with its gearless centre column, height adjustments are easy and quick.
With three leg-angle adjustments, the tripod can be set up for firm stable support even when the ground is not level, or on steps. To cater to those shooters who need to get down really low for close-ups or dramatic worm’s eye views, the centre column is actually made from two halves that can be unscrewed so that the tripod can be lowered to a ground-hugging 20cm.

The tripod comes all ready to use with a stable all-metal SH-707E multi-action pan head that incorporates an easy-to-use quick release. It is substantial and precisely machined from finely cast aluminum. Both pan and tilt movements are controlled by a single handle, making it ideal for tracking moving subjects with a spotting scope or binoculars.

The legs are black to avoid distracting reflections and although the SLIK Sprint Pro EZ weighs 1.28kg, it has enough strength engineered into its design to safely support up to 2kg.
