Very valent, very small and light, but def. not suitable for medium to full-blown DSLR. Unfortunately, the central axis can not be inserted. Is it mounted swinging a DSLR very clear and long. For this purpose that comes to your legs, slightly bend the lower thin segments especially. You can unscrew the central axis and mount the head directly on the tripod plate. Then, a clear improvement is noticeable. Unfortunately, then the working height is too low, and the overlap of the legs for space-saving transport is no longer possible. Otherwise, a great stand. Great for small DSLR and system snapping. (Tested with Canon EOS 70D)
