It's worth it 2

After I had for years photographed with zweckentfremdetem video tripod, then I am nevertheless times for a new photo-tripod decided.
This tripod seemed best equipped from the start in my search, as regards carrying capacity, height and function.
And (as for Manfrotto hardly fail to be expected), I am quite satisfied, especially as the price is incredibly reasonable for the quality.

The closures of the telescopes can be adjusted and really stable, thereby leichtgänglig. Although the stand has three floors, it is built within a few seconds. With a handle on the snapper, and even the feet are long snappers to and holds. This is so simple and fast, since hooked nix and even with my delicate fingers works well absolutely without fumbling or effort. Here, the stand is easy enough that woman can hold out there with one hand while the snappers are closed. So the construction on uneven ground (stairs, rocks) is equal to just how it should be. Rubber feet and two legs with foam rubber coating are standard. The opening angle adjustment is made of metal, well made and very sturdy. I think it hardly is a danger that someday somewhere gets a finger in between.

The extract of the hexagonal center column is hardly necessary for full height. That goes to the thumb screw solve easily. To make the center column on the head, a rubber cap must first be abgepopelt at the bottom, at the same time also serves as an end stop against verse starting royal full withdrawal. This raises the question of how long it takes until the rubber cap is over or lost, because no eye or something has to secure and only held by two rubber pins on.The head mount is made of metal and stable. A soft rubber ring to restrain any shock that happens when the center column down rushes after versehendlichem loosening the thumb screw. Whether that makes up as much as the labels praise ... somehow I can not imagine how this attenuation is ever to be used me. Even fully extended center column is stable and wobbles a bit. Because she's seckseckig, they will not twist too.

The tripod head is plastic. Only time very unusual. After extensive use, it turns out that there is absolutely no difference to aluminum exists, except in the lower weight. All bearings and threaded metal are so accustomed to wear. I even have the impression that the threaded inserts are more stable than the cut in aluminum thread. Solving the adjustable grip happens with a half turn and after a slight tightening carries the tripod head with the cam 1.8kg Tele trunk bombenfest without appreciable sagging. The plate displacement shot is saved in self-aligning and additionally holds auomatisch wobble-free.
The sagging of which is written here, I can not understand. Even that one should repeatedly have to turn, did not notice me. The handles are exactly richtlig in length, and rubberized grip, very pleasant. The level indicator at the joints is nice as well as the circular level, who needs it. Panoramic photos without any problem whatsoever if one pays attention to the nodal point and uses a sliding panel.

As a video tripod, the tripod head is rather less, since he fully solved a swing with a slight twitching begins.

As a camera tripod there for the money is hardly something better.
