SLIK VARI CF-704 Professional Tripod Kit

The VARI CF-704 carbon fiber tripod is a 3-1 design for hybrid shooters that need a single tripod to quickly convert between still and video shooting. Taking advantage of the simple tool-free release mechanism, you can quickly switch between the standard carbon fiber center column, to the light-weight flat plate for low angle work, to the video bowl mount for quick horizon adjustments. In a matter of seconds, your VARI CF-704 tripod can morph between 3 different tripod styles to match your specific shooting need.

The Professional Kit includes the CF-704 carbon fiber legs, 3 center base-plate options, 3 foot options (standard, spiked, flat surface), stainless steel hook to increase stability and keep your bag off the ground, and a carrying case to hold it all.

The newly designed 25mm diamond-pattern carbon fiber tubes and precision milled aluminum body provides a lightweight system with maximum strength and durability. It weighs in as low as 2.8 lbs. (1295 g) while supporting 17.6 lbs. (8 kg). The CF-704 is a 4-section tripod with a folded height of 18.7 inches and a max height of 64.6 inches.

Additional features include a bubble level on the main collar to quickly set your horizon, an accessory port for extension arms that hold monitors, tablets, or other photographic accessories, and the newly designed “semi-ratchet” leg-angle lock mechanism that allows you to quickly and easily set your leg angles to one of 3 stable positions.
