In addition, the 423PX offers neoprene leg wraps, great for hot and cold weather handling. The flip lever leg locks are quick and easy to use with and without gloves and are tension adjustable with the included wrench. Other combined features of the 423PX are a second short, anti-rotation carbon fiber center column for low angle photography, reversible 1⁄4” and 3/8” mounting screw, removable auto retract center column accessory hook and over-size rubber feet with retractable leg spikes.
