The Spectrum Flat Lay 180cm Camera Tripod with Extension arm is the perfect tripod for taking flat lay (top-down) photos or videos with a smartphone, iPhone, tablet or digital camera DSLR/mirrorless. Take the perfect flat lay image for use on social media, your website or to promote your products.

The tripod's minimum height is 48cm when compact (excluding extension arm) and collapsed is 60cm (with extension arm head attached). The max height with the centre column extended is 180cm and 155cm with the centre column retracted.

The extension arm minimum length is 45cm and can fully extend to 100cm. Full extension is only recommended for smartphones or tablets.

The tripod also features a 360 degree ball head and panning capability so you're able to resposition the camera to take the perfect shot. The end of the extension arm also features a 360 degree ball head. The middle of the extension head features a 3/8" screw thread so another ball head can be mounted, if required.

Lastly, the tripod includes a bonus smartphone holder as well as a carry case to transport and store the tripod away.

Please note: It's recommended to use a 2-5kg counter weight that you can hang on the back half of the extension arm to counter balance the tripod.

The recommended extension of the arm is 40cm (front half of the arm) with 28cm length for the back half of the arm to counter balance larger camera and lens configurations. This was tested with a Canon 5DMKII with 24-70mm lens weighing approximately 1.8kg (as pictured).
