Acebil i-605DX Lightweight Tripod System

The Acebil i-605DX is a compact two-stage aluminum tripod system built around a 65mm ball leveling head, sized for palmcorders and small-format video cameras. The bowl mount lets you level the head quickly on uneven ground without fiddling with individual leg lengths, and the fluid pan and tilt action keeps horizons true and moves smooth. It is the light end of Acebil's prosumer line, easy to carry and fast to set up.

The head carries loads up to 8.8 pounds and tilts from +90 to -60 degrees, with fixed counterbalance and drag tuned for lightweight cameras. A quick-release slide plate with a 1/4-20 screw gets the camera on and off fast, and the two-stage legs raise it from 30.3 to 59 inches before folding down to a travel-friendly length. The system ships in a padded carry bag.
