Slik Pro 500DX Tripod Legs Only
A tripod should be solid and easy to use, so
you spend more time focusing on your photography than you do your equipment.
Anyone can stick the word "pro" on their products to make them sound superior
but if you're going to attract professionals, it needs something that will be a
benefit to them. Slik's Pro 500DX tripod has their exclusive AMT
technology which is a mixture of Aluminium, Magnesium and Titanium to make a
tripod lighter than a standard Aluminium tripod. Its strength to weight ratio is
40% greater than standard Aluminium and Slik say it will hold a Pro DSLR and
300mm f/2.8 lens with no problems.
The Silk Pro 500 DX makes setting up simple with secure, speed-release
leg locks. The Pro500 DX centre column is actually two threaded pieces
that unscrew to exchange the top piece to a short column. This combined with the
adjustable leg angle locks allows the tripod to be lowered to just 13.8 inches
for very low angle or macro photography in the field.
