Content creation on the go has never been so simple. There is even the option to lock out the panning feature so you can shoot in true movie mode. With a weight capacity of 3.3lb, this killer tripod also has super fast level leg locks on it’s legs. The dream has become a reality.Top comment"Good to travel...Amazing tripods for trips , easy to handle, also good quality ....Which is a welcome difference when comparing this Joby versus what I consider to be the more "cumbersome" traditional tripods I'm familiar with.
