First of all: I use this tripod with a DSLR Sony A200 and mostly with lenses of 200 - 500mm. For this price I had expected with a few flaws in the Qulaität and handling, but to my surprise this was positive hardly the case. The camera can be very good and very fast clamping, although me the quick release at the beginning of some fear made, in terms of the weight of my camera. The feet can be easily and safely adapted to the given surfaces, which, when fully extended, the stability decreases slightly. The 3-way head hooked in use at the beginning of something, but after Frequent use, is the head of "incorporated" and works without problems. Also helpful are the two spirit levels that allow straight when shooting over greater distances, a well-oriented photography, without "inconsistencies". On the whole, I can only say, it is inexpensive, compact, well made and safe for somanchen hobby photographers a useful tool. Prima is also the included carrying case.
