The XC-M 525K is more than just a tripod, it's part of an expansive modular system.

The ProMaster XC-M 525 tripod's 5-section, transverse legs fold 180°, making the entire unit just over 15" long for storage and travel. Yet, fully extended it reaches a working height of nearly 6'! Each leg's angle and length are independently adjustable, allowing the XC-M 525 to properly support your camera on uneven ground. Its dual-action ball head is strong, precise, and lightweight with an independent pan control. It has an integrated memory lock for repeatable tension control and uses ProMaster's Dovetail quick-release system (Arca-type) for a fast and secure camera connection.

XC-M stands for eXtreme Compact Modular and it is the modular component that makes this tripod system truly special.

- While some tripods use a single, detachable leg to form a monopod, all three legs on a ProMaster XC-M tripod are removable. You can use one of them to form a monopod by combining it with the center column, but can also connect a set of ProMaster Extension and Macro Legs (product 3559) to either extend the height of the tripod well beyond its native spec. or to achieve an incredibly stable macro tripod.

- Remove the rubber feet at the bottom of each leg and replace them with a set of All Terrain Feet (product 3510) for a robust system of stainless-steel spikes with soft, removable covers and sand/snow baskets.

- Slide the center column out and add a Ground Level Adapter (product 3531) for low-angle images, or try the Column Tilt Adapter (product 4028) to turn your XC-M's center column into an adjustable boom for creative angles and symmetrical overhead shots. 

Thanks to its modularity, XC-M is the most adaptable tripod system available anywhere in the world today.

Finally, every ProMaster XC-M tripod has a Mini Dovetail Plate installed in its yoke. This unique system speeds up the time needed to attach an accessory such as a flex arm or articulating arm. Simply pre-attach your accessory to a ProMaster MD Clamp (product code 3573, sold separately) and then you can connect or remove it from the XC-M tripod in a matter of seconds.
