The Magnus VT-300 Video Tripod with Fluid Head is a lightweight and portable tripod system for shooting stable videos with DSLRs, small camcorders, and any other cameras up to 15 lb.

A built-in fluid effect video head pans a full 360°, tilts up and down, and features independent pan and tilt locks for fixed-position shots. A pan bar and a snap-in quick release camera plate are included. The quick release plate features a 1/4"-20 camera mounting screw, a registration pin, and an anti-skid mounting surface.

A center column raises or lowers at the turn of a hand crank to let you fine-tune a height without adjusting the tripod legs. A mid-level spreader keeps the legs steady when you adjust the tripod, and it locks to keep the legs secure once you've set the tripod in position. Both the center column and spreader are integrated. The maximum height of the tripod with the center column raised is 64.3".

The tripod legs extend at two leg stages at the release of flip-locks. The legs feature replaceable rubber feet that provide grip on hard or slippery surfaces. An internal bubble level will help you position the tripod evenly on uneven ground. A carry case with a shoulder strap is included and will let you conveniently carry the tripod over your shoulder when you're travelling about.

More than just a pan handle-mounted zoom control, the Magnus Pan Handle Video Remote for Select Sony Cameras and Camcorders provides access to camera functions such as photo and video start/stop, grid lines, zoom control, shutter lock, and your camera's sleep mode. Mounting the remote to your tripod's pan handle allows you to access these features while panning or tilting the camera/camcorder on your tripod.

The included pan handle allows you to attach the remote to select Magnus tripods, for easier operation of your camera's advanced focus without having to use a second hand to manipulate the camera while operating from a tripod, which can result in shaky or blown shots. The included 31.5" long cable that connects the remote to your camera enables you to operate the remote off of a pan handle if desired and the included lanyard allows you to hang the remote from a stand or other support.
