I was very skeptical at first because this stand was very cost-intensive. It can be worn very well and does not take up much space. I have the tripod mostly in the bag on his shoulder. It has the strap an extra non-slip buckle that can be perfectly clamped behind the backpack. I realize this stand while wearing barely. The unfolding is self-explanatory and is very good. One can stand by rotating screws fix so that it no longer unfolds and is safe. Even with smaller wind gusts it remained steadfast. The ball head is just awesome to use. Pinching the quick release plate designed in the beginning a bit difficult, but now I got used to it. I highly recommend this tripod at all costs. I am happy that I have well spent this money. Since I am a beginner in photography, I can not compare with other stands besides the cheap tripods unfortunately.
