To enhance your viewing experience, the platform allows a tilt of up to 90°, complete with a locking knob to maintain stability at any angle. For added security, the quick-release plate features a safety mechanism that prevents it from detaching completely from the pan head unless the release button is actively pressed.

Simply twist the lock knob to adjust the center column to your desired height. When fully extended, the tripod reaches just under 69 inches. Additionally, the bottom of the center column features a ¼ - 20” mounting stud for attaching a camera, allowing for unique viewing or imaging angles.

Each leg of the Hummingbird tripod is designed for versatility, featuring two different fixed angles as well as the option to extend fully. A leg angle adjustment latch located at the top of each leg enables you to lay the tripod flat on any surface. To ensure stability, a built-in bubble level allows you to confirm that the tripod remains level at any height or extension.

For hassle-free transportation, the tripod comes with a protective carrying case that is soft-woven and includes a comfortable shoulder strap. When not in use, this case serves as the perfect storage solution for your tripod.

In summary, the Hummingbird tripod is a stable, lightweight, and versatile tool suitable for a wide range of applications. It allows for smooth panning across the horizon and tilting of the viewing angle through two directional adjustments, as well as the option to flip your optic sideways. Its customizable configuration, backed by four leg sections and three leg angles, ensures it can accommodate virtually any user or terrain. The extendable center column offers additional height when required, making this tripod the perfect choice for outdoor enthusiasts on the go.
