The Libec TH-650HD is a compact, all-in-one tripod system designed for use with today's smaller DV and HD camcorders and DSLR cameras. It consists of a head with pan handle, two-stage tripod legs, and a mid-level support brace. The head features a built-in, spring-loaded counter balance to help balance for better camera balance and is equipped with a sliding quick-release plate that slides 50mm front to rear, for easier balance adjustment. A carrying case is included for easy storage and transport.
