Solid Performance, Solid ValueThe SLIK PRO 500
DX
A.M.T. makes all the
difference.
SLIKs exclusive A.M.T.
super Aluminum-Magnesium-Titanium alloy legs make the PRO 500 DX tripod rock
steady, yet lighter than it looks. The A.M.T. alloy has a 40% greater strength
to weight ratio than standard aluminum, making it lighter and stronger than the
standard metal used in most tripods.
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
T
RIPOD
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 PRO 500 DX center column is actually two threaded pieces
that unscrew to convert 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.
Stable all-metal
head with easy-to-use quick release.
The included PRO 500 DX all-metal
3-way pan head has over a solid pound of finely cast and machined aluminum. It
uses a fast and easy to use quick-release plate to securely mount the camera on
the tripod.
PRO 500 DX 3-WAY
HEAD
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.
