COLUMN TILT ADAPTER - 525
This Column Tilt Adapter expands the capability of your XC-M 525 aluminum or XC-M 525C carbon fiber tripod by giving its center column the freedom to tilt 180° (90° up & 90° down). This adapter essentially converts your XC-M's center column into a multi-position, adjustable boom.
$34.95
+ FEATURES
- Tilts 90° up or down
- Rotates 360°
- Weight hook included
- Adapter has a number of teeth machined within its joint to give it an excellent amount of holding power in various tilt positions (be sure to tighten its main knob before you release your camera to prevent it from falling).
- Can be installed and used permanently on your XC-M Tripod, if you so choose, because it can achieve the same vertical position as the normal center column when needed.
