The UT 53D is a travel tripod with QHD-53D ball head, QB-62 quick release adapter. The legs consist of 6 sections, meaning the length of each leg is shorter when folded. Legs can be folded by reversing 180 degrees, giving the UT Series tripod the form of an acrobat. It is capable of being opened to eye-level height, making this tripod ideal as travel companion. While the UT tripod is normally used with ball head, version with 3-way pan and tilt head is also available. Leg angles can be opened from standard 25 to 45° and then to 75° step by step on each leg. Central leg adjuster changes the leg locking position to be changed to semi-low and full-low position for macro photography. Quick release plate slides in and is locked automatically by rotatable shoe lever. Fully adjustable twist and lock leg adjustments.
