Tripod received the day announced, no problem for delivery! Two nice surprises at the opening:
- There is a bag delivered with (I did not see specified when purchasing), which looks very sturdy and protective air and more
- You can get a 10-year warranty for the tripod by registering on the vendor's site (so no planned obsolescence or voluntary frailties that make the tripod break a year later, when the warranty expired, we know well ...)
The tripod itself is very imposing, but not too heavy, just the thing to give it a sacred stability! The feet of the deployment system is good, I'm just afraid to jam my fingers one day without noticing, but hey, nothing too bad in my opinion.
The head, while metal is really convenient, small simple turning knobs (I was used to really uncomfortable wheels of my former small tripod, then a finger swipe is released, awesome!). In terms of fluidity, I have not found blocking, it's really sweet, both tilt the pan (even if the pan is quite hard to push I think). Big highlight, again specified anywhere, even during my research, the head can be removed, so if you want to upgrade later with a Manfrotto head, for example, it is possible without any redeeming the tripod! The rapid plate comes without problems and after understanding the sophisticated system, it becomes really easy to use and very fast!
I do not see much to say more, I confess that I was afraid of being disappointed when I bought it, but clearly, I do not regret at all! To see in the time now! Anyway, by then, I advise you eyes closed!
