Despite its compact size of only 31.5 cm, it offers a working height of 135.5 cm when fully extended, providing a comfortable eyepiece height when a camera is mounted. Unlike the Mundo 522T, which features tripod legs and a center column made of anodized aluminum tubing, the Mundo 522TC is constructed from high-quality carbon. This reduces the weight from 1160 g (Mundo 522T in aluminum) to just under 1020 g in the carbon version. The quick-release clamps on the tripod legs and the two-stage extendable carbon center column are practical and fast. The three-way angle adjustment of the tripod legs, including the macro position, is standard across the entire Mundo tripod range. A short center column is included specifically for low-angle macro shots. The mounted ball head with an integrated camera quick-release plate is made entirely of aluminum and is anodized for protection against scratches and environmental influences. With a load capacity of 5 kg, the Mundo 522TC is particularly suitable for modern CSC cameras, as well as for lightweight DSLR cameras with compact lenses. The Mundo 522 series offers the right tripod for everyone, whether in the carbon version in sleek silver or in the aluminum version in four different colors (black, silver, orange, blue). To ensure the Mundo can safely explore the world, a suitable transport bag is included.
