Hi all

Looking to buy one of these tripods but need something answered first.

Does anyone know the height of these with legs fully extended but with centre column down.I know its about 162cm with column up but need to know the other dimension as wife is only 5ft and a bit.

Have searched the net but cannot find the answer.

Cheers

Mark
 
Mark,
I recently tried a 635 & found that i would need to raise the column about 2 inches to comfortably use my Swaro angled scope (i am about 5' 9"). If your wife uses a straight through style scope then you will need a higher model than if using an angled. Dont forget also that a head will also add about 3 to 4 inches to the base height.
Regards
Rob.
