Good idea & very convenient not to use ball head!

+ Small
+ Easy
+ Low (without the new ball head, and even then it's still cheap compared to others)
+ Stable (it would, however, with extended telescopic rod - if at all - only use it for very light and small SLR!)
+ Well made (except for the ball head!)
+ But above all functional and VARIABLE
+ Size 12-77 cm adjustable

- Ball joint / Ball Head no longer holds after 2 x use a 150g Camera (worn once!)

Basically, I am therefore very pleased with the tripod and it would also buy me at any time.
However, just because I've already bought me another small but still stable ball joint.

The high variability and functionality for me but the main reason to buy it.
With the wide margin 12-77 cm I can with a single small tripod from many perspectives make films or photos.
Auction Especially for people who from time to time (or even frequently) something at E-Bay and sometimes not need shaky close-ups is thoroughly recommended this tripod.
Within seconds, you're either very close or nearly 80 cm over it. Without effort, especially in the smallest space.
Before that I was a "normal-sized" used tripod. However, I could not really put this on the table for close-ups. Even otherwise, it was very awkward for changing perspectives constantly adjust the position and especially the exact amount.
With this stand, including the small telescoping rod but that belongs to the past.
Conveniently, you can set up almost everywhere but there. So I just, then placed the tripod along with your camcorder at a family reunion on the shelf in the closet and run. No one can stumble over it, the kiddies of Relatives do not come out and ran so unusual perspectives you do not really get many material (Who has a 2m tripod at home).

All in all I am therefore more than satisfied (ie 5 star would say), when to use it only for small, compact devices. For my DSLR is to only use only without telescope attachment (Therefore 1 star deduction)

However, there is virtually nothing more value without a Ball Head. Because then it can be only in the Hähe adjustment.
However, since this ball head is so lousy acceptable quality and I had to buy me now for almost the same money a new, I will see to it (only) 1 star deduct (preferably even 2, but then the final judgment of 2 stars would be really no more justice).

So who has invested a few more euros for another ball head a really great mini-tripod with a great many uses. Even then it is still a bargain and worth every penny, especially in comparison to other tripods in this category and price range. On the flexibility but comes eh no other ran away.
