We use it with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 camera system and are generally very enthusiastic.
For the price, it really convinced in the power output.
It really is very light and strong. The 3-way head can be easily set and so determine separately on each axis so that the camera remains stable in the position.
Fully extended, ie both stages of the tripod legs and center rod extended to reach a (estimated!) Height of 190cm +.
Despite this level the tripod makes a very strong impression, at least with a 14-140mm zoom lens.
If you use a longer lens or want to take pictures at very windy and troubled places, makes the hook on the center bar the additional Complain of the stand easily.
The included carrying case allows the tripod to transport very well. The shoulder strap can be extended far enough to be worn in the winter, over several layers of clothes, comfortable and slip free.
The only point is to watch for the:
The tripod adapter (where the camera screwed it) has a metal pin on a spring, which was used in older full-format cameras for locking. This had it to prevent an additional hole in the housing to twisting.
Many modern cameras (Canon EOS, Panasonic Lumix, many Nikon etc.) no longer have this hole in the casing.
Scratches danger !!
We have initially masked the pen with us with tape, but soon break him out with a screwdriver because it is pointless and makes it difficult to tighten the screws.
Usually that's not a big deal, but I have read in the description nothing about it and as a newcomer just by a picture can not suggest here that this pen brings nothing for my camera, there is a star deduction.
Conclusion:
A very strong buy recommendation. The lock works well, the camera is quickly attached and detached by the quick release, the tripod is very light and portable, very high and low enough and sufficiently stable.
But I recommend everyone whose camera bottom has a hole for the safety pin in the housing, before first use this rauszubrechen the tripod.
