The processing is in my opinion absolutely top quality - I had the dealer tripod in hand which would have included head cost 4 times and were only marginally better from processing.
The Statbilität who is not getting a rough ride in most forums on the tripod I can not criticize. Have photographed without problems in moderate wind and wenns then it would be too unstable times is a hook on the center column still have the opportunity to complain there. Did not feel that it is with the used equipment to the limit, rather think you can use it up to 1kg without problems.
The head I'm totally satisfied - the tightening is very easy to rotate for panoramic pictures is also properly. The criticism that the camera is not sufficiently firmly held as it is clamped on one side only I can not really share because you can tighten the screw without much effort so that the camera bombemfest sits on the head.
What put me off at first was not fully retractable center column, but I must say that I have at hand so no problems at all. Have your legs while wearing mostly folded up and the center column slightly extended in order to have a better grip and even when the legs are folded down provides the existing center column Wore a good "handle option" to carry the tripod.
In summary I can give a 100% term buy recommendation. Those looking for an easy and especially small tripod on the go and do not want to miss out on good workmanship is absolutely wise to the Sirui. I think the price does not have to say much to ...
