The SLIK PRO 500 BHX has a capacity of 8.8 lbs. and is capable of handling a full sized professional DSLR with standard lens. In addition to the standard easy grip ball lock lever, the head has a tension adjustment knob to fine-tune the drag on the ball movement. There is a separate panoramic lock on the base so that once the ball is leveled or placed at the desired angle, the camera can still turn in a panning movement. There are also 360 degree markings around the base so the camera can be turned a known number of degrees for taking photos to stitch together for panoramic shots. SLIK’s exclusive A.M.T. super Aluminum-Magnesium-Titanium alloy legs make the PRO 500 BHX tripod rock steady, yet lighter than it looks. The A.M.T. alloy has a 40% greater strength to weight ratio than standard aluminum, making it lighter and stronger than the standard metal used in most tripods.
