(Hauppauge N.Y.) Davis and Sanford, a Tiffen Company brand, has designed it’s
most advanced ,state of the-art, professional tripod – the new Magnum

to offer the quality and strength demanded by professional photographers. The
new FX12 low profile head,included with the MagumXG , incorporates our new advanced

with video mode, but also perfect for birdwatching and mini DV cameras.
Removing the camera and lens from the head is simple and fast. Simply press
the lock release button and slide the plate out. The quick release plate is
square and non keyed, so it can be positioned any way in the head.
Made of high quality low weight aluminum alloy, the FX12 is designed to carry
a capacity of up to 12 lbs. The head has 2 spirit levels to ensure perfect leveling
and the rubber gripped pan and tilt handles are a comfortable ergonomic shape
. For more convenience, the tilt handles can be positioned on either the left
or the right hand side of the head.

ergonomics of the leg-angle release mechanism, and improved quick action leg
locks. While it can reach a maximum working height of 72" , it can also
be used as low as 8”
