A geared center column makes fine height adjustments easy.Ī threaded mounting post on one leg lets you bring the camera down to just 8 inches (200 mm) from the ground for low angle photos, macro photography in the field, or copy work. The head has a lens calibrated panorama guide to make 360 &Mac176 panoramas from multiple pictures.

The quick release camera post is smaller than most quick release plates and can be left on the camera almost all the time, so the camera is always ready to be mounted on the U-212 DX's ultra-smooth 3-way pan-head. The U212 deluxe was one of the first tripods to feature speed release leg locks on three-section "NON-TWIST" squared legs that will not turn and have retractable rubber leg tips and spikes for sure footing on any surface.

Designed primarily for light weight 35mm SLR cameras or compact film and digital cameras, it features a number of exciting design concepts that were born with the original U 212 and have been copied into other tripods world-wide. The award winning U 212 DX is world-renowned designing that has carefully evolved for more than 20 years. It's not really the thing you would want to lug along on a two or three day wilderness trek.All in all I like this tripod.
#SLIK U212 CAMERA MOUNT FULL#
There is a little loss of stability at full height due to a slight column wiggle but at high shutter speeds it's not noticeable.The one complaint I do have is the weight of the tripod. As I am quite tall, I like the full extension height of the column. had the tripod operational again in less than 30 minutes. The longest lens I have used on it has been a 500mm and the tripod performed beautifully even with Semi-trucks going past at 65 mph less than 15 feet away.(I was feeling the effects of their going by) I have experienced the clamp cracking problem myself and was able to purchase a replacement clamp from Slik Co. For me it has been a solid, stable platform for night shots, Macro work, floral and Landscape photography. I have had my U-212 for 16 years now and Have no major complaints.
