This vintage and classic Silk tripod has 360 degree pan, tilt, and vertical tilt modes.  It's made of aluminum and designed for ANY equipment you might choose to mount - video cameras, telescopes, etc.  Minimum height is 27 inches, and the tripod can be extended to just over six feet.  The rubber feet can be retracted to reveal steel spikes for stability in any environment.  The screw camera mount plate is removable via a quick-release lever, and can remain attached to the camera for hand-held use.  This is the sturdiest tripod I've ever seen.  You could probably SIT on the thing without damage.  It's fair to say "they don't make them like this anymore..."
