An invaluable aid for nature photographers, the TrekPod XL serves as a monopod, tripod, and hiking staff all in one. The lightweight, height-adjustable TrekPod XL is made of lightweight carbon fiber, with a quick-release MagMount Pro system for attaching a camera or optical device. The MagMount Pro lets you instantly attach almost any camera, spotting scope, or other device that uses the industry-standard 1/4-inch-20 mounting stud. Once you've lined up your shot, simply activate the anti-rotation feature to lock your portrait in place. Then, when you're finished shooting, you can release the camera and fold up the legs, and the TrekPod XL will immediately transform into a handy walking staff--a must for hilly terrain and rough trails.
The TrekPod XL is compact and versatile, with a design that quickly breaks down into four pieces and fits in a small carrying case. As a result, you can stuff the TrekPod XL into an overhead carry-on when traveling, or easily find a spot in your hiking backpack. The device is also adjustable to several lengths, telescoping down to 39 inches in its tripod mode and adjusting from 42.5 to 62.5 inches in its monopod/hiking staff mode. Finally, the TrekPod XL comes with a Light Force MagAdapter for carrying lighter devices, and a Heavy Force MagAdapter with "screw-down" functionality for heavier cameras. Other details include a rear earth neodymium magnet ballhead that holds most large digital SLR cameras and optical devices (up to 9 pounds); tilting, swiveling, and pan movement; and a safety clip to ensure that your camera or optical device stays secure.
The TrekPod XL--which excels not only on the hiking trail, but also in places like museums or zoos where tripods normally can't go--is backed by a lifetime warranty.
