The Equinox Albert Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with AirHed 360 Ball Head from 3 Legged Thing has five leg sections that can extend to a maximum height of 68.6" and also go as low as 9.3". At the 23° angle leg spread, which is considered a normal stance, the tripod can support a maximum of 66.1 lb. (The legs have two additional wider stances, and these support less weight.) The twist locks' Para-lock feature works by restricting the opening movement of the friction lock, preventing you from accidentally unscrewing the lock until the leg section detaches.
