Besides all the beautiful to read technical data (max. Height 1.68 m, load capacity 7 kg, etc.) are the Spikes worth a mention of the feet. Not that the Nanomax tripods these would not, but they are not "been deceived" in magnesite-series, that is suitable for real outdoor use on harder ground. Moreover, the center column can be exchanged for a smaller version, if you want to immerse yourself in the macro range and thus the minimum height of the tripod can be reduced to an impressive 17.5 cm. However, it must not be forgotten that u. U. still want to take a ball or 3-way head his place. In most cases, however, the smaller version - magnesite 525 - quite sufficient, since these only 12 cm is small & can, 1 kg less braced by the also smaller pipe diameters. Despite the lack of pocket there yet, due to the excellent workmanship, full 5 stars.
