The professional OSN OS 7003 tripod has all-metal, multi-position, three-section, heavy-duty legs with metal quick-release lever locks. The three-way die-cast metal panhead has a quick-release platform that attaches to the camera with a twist lever on the base. A sliding, rotating center column has a large wing nut for locking. There is a pushbutton lock at the top that permits the positioning of each leg independently, which is great for when the tripod is placed on uneven terrain. Non-slip rubber feet assist the tripod in staying where it is positioned.

Leg lengths can be quickly adjusted with locks that easily open and clamp shut. Soft foam covering on two legs makes it easier to carry the tripod, and the covering also helps in keeping the metal legs warm in winter, so they are not cold to the touch. Wide, easy-to-grip locking knobs make adjusting to the desired proper panhead position very rapid. The small quick-release platform has a safety lock so it cannot be accidentally released.

All movements of this sturdy tripod operate smoothly and easily. Even when fully extended to maximum height and when used with a heavy SLR camera that has a long telephoto lens, this tripod is quite steady. The 1/4-20 tripod screw is rather long, so if your camera has a shallow tripod socket it might not tighten down completely. This model looks like it should be durable and long lasting. A handy carrying case comes with the tripod.
