The Slik Sprint Pro II has the features that are required of a full-sized tripod: a maximum height of 161.5 cm reaches eye level yet the Sprint Pro II folds to an impressively compact 47 cm and weighs in at just 940 grams for easy travel.

The emphasis on the Sprint Pro II is ease-of-use. Any tripod should be easy to use, so that more time is spent concentrating on the subject and enjoying photography, than stressing about the equipment. This tripod makes setting up simple and secure with fast, easy-to-use SLIK speed-release leg locks, gearless centre column for quick height adjustments, and 3-position adjustable angle legs for easy set-up on uneven ground or steps.

The adjustable leg angles can also be used to lower the tripod. When used with the built-in short centre column, (the included centre column unscrews into two pieces) the camera is just 170mm off the ground for extremely low-angle or macro photography out in the field. Another way to get the camera low is to reverse the centre column which could be used for macro photography or copy work.

SLIK even designed a new head for the SPRINT series. The SBH-100DHQ ball head features a precision milled aluminium ball for smooth reliable camera movements, and a quick release system for faster, easier mounting of a camera. This head can easily handle a camera up to 2kg* in weight
