Description
The SLIK U8800L is the tallest of the U series tripods. The U series are popular the world over with photo enthusiasts and people who just love taking pictures.
The 66.7 inch maximum height makes eye-level easily within reach and many people will find they don’t even have to raise the center column. A smooth moving “fluid effect” pan head with one handle operation makes moving the positioning the camera quick and simple. The nicely sized quick release plate makes attaching the camera to the tripod even faster.
Other features of the SLIK U8800Linclude speed release lever locks for extending and retracting the legs. Hard rubber foot pads provide secure footing on almost any surface.
Regardless if you use a high-end point-and shoot, mirrorless camera or light-weight DSLR with the kit lens the SLIK U8800L can handle it.

Not quite perfect This is my third SLIK tripod. This U8800L fits me much better than my other two since it is taller. But just about as light and easy to use, it is the first one I grab to take out for landscape photography. Stable and intuitive to use I only wish the telescoping handle was made of metal; one of my earlier U tripods broke. That being said, have no qualms about this being a do-all and go-everywhere tripod.
