57" PROFESSIONAL HEAVY DUTY TRIPOD Perfect for field, Studio, Educational or Industrial Applications For Video Cameras, Mini-DVs, Telescopes, Firearms, and Spotting Scopes Weighing Up To 20 LBS. DESCRIPTION: Tripods are used for both still and motion photography to prevent camera movement. They are necessary when slow-speed exposures are being made, or when zoom lenses are used. Any camera movement while the shutter is open will produce a blurred image. A tripod is also helpful in achieving precise framing of the image, or when more than one image is being made of the same scene, for example, when bracketing the exposure. Use of a tripod may also allow for a more thoughtful approach to photography. For all these reasons a tripod of some sort is often necessary for professional photography as well as certain video uses. Tripods are also used to support small to medium-sized telescopes, firearms, binoculars, etc. SPECIFICATIONS: MAXIMUM HEIGHT: 57" HEAD TYPE: 3 WAY PANHEAD 360° HEAD LEG LOCK TYPE : SELF-ALIGNING METAL QUICK FLIP LEG SECTIONS: PRO ALUMINUM 3 SECTION LEG FOLDS TO: 21" WEIGHT : 1.62 lb TRIPOD SPECIFICATIONS: QUICK RELEASE PLATE CENTER BRACE WITH LOCK ADDS MORE STABILITY SELF-LOCKING GEAR MECHANISM PROVIDES PRECISE, SILKY SMOOTH, "NO-DRIFT" ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT BUBBLE LEVEL PROFESSIONAL GEARED ELEVATOR FOAM GRIP 3 LEG SECTION FOR EXTRA STABILITY SELF-ALIGNING METAL QUICK-FLIP LEG LOCKS OFFER FAST SET UP NON-SKID RUBBER FEET GRAB ANY SURFACE BONUS: HIGH-QUALITY, SOFT CARRYING CASE INCLUDED We accept only PayPal as payment method for any domestic transaction.

Many sellers find this to be a complex and time-consuming task, and buyers can have extra challenges with customs charges upon arrival. The Global Shipping Program (GSP) at eBay streamlines this process for both by automatically including all shipping and customs charges in the buyers checkout purchase total and reducing the sellers effort to a simple domestic US shipment. And, all of this is at no additional charge to the seller or buyer. Best of all, ChannelAdvisor fully supports GSP and weve worked with eBay to get early access to the program for our customers. GSP utilizes experienced international shipping operators to handle the international leg of the shipment. The seller delivers the package to a domestic US address where GSP takes over. Included in the shipping address is a reference number that uniquely identifies the package and directs the package along to its final international destination. Filling out customs forms and declarations along with international tracking are all included with GSP. Any customs payment is already included since the buyer paid it at checkout, which could mean that the buyer receives the item even faster because it can be delivered immediately and will not be held awaiting customs payment. Once the seller has shipped their package to the domestic address, everything else is fully automatic. The sellers shipping-related Detailed Seller Ratings are protected, and will not be responsible for loss or damage during international transit.
