The PRO 823 CF has three leg sections that when fully extended reach a height of 64.6 inches but when completely retracted the tripod is only 24.4 inches in length. It has a weight of just 3.99 lbs. but is capable of handling nearly 18 lbs. of properly balanced equipment. This makes the tripod an excellent choice for the location photographer with heavy equipment. All of the new SLIK PRO carbon fiber tripods feature a new Speed Release Leg Locks and A. R. S. (Anti-rotational System) making this tripod much easier to operate. So the PRO 823 CFL would be usable with the highest number of tripod heads from SLIK and others the tripod has an industry standard 3/8 mount post that is reversible to 1/4-20. The SLIK CFL series of carbon fiber tripods are equipped with new proprietary Speed Release Locks for fast easy set-up and pack-up. These fast easy-to-use lever locks are spring-loaded to hold each section of the tripod legs securely but do not snap-back so there is no pitching of fingers while using them. Carbon Fiber material is actually comprised of 8 layers of inter-woven carbon strands that are then bonded together in a sealed, high-pressure furnace. When finished, this material is more than 40% lighter than standard aluminum and very rigid, making it great for applications from space vehicles to tripod legs.
