I hesitated a long time between various makes and models, and some professional testing and user videos (we say unboxing) convinced me, as well as the number of positive ratings on Amazon and elsewhere, which rarely wrong.
There were hardly 50 euro difference between an ordinary and fragile foot and this awesome and strong product, strong brand. So I seem to have made the economy of banal and fragile product. My little Panasonic FZ200 the bridge was worth, even if this choice may seem excessive. Later, to the hike, I probably buy a small, lightweight monopod, which I visserai my kneecap.
The fully unfolded foot is 170 cm tall, without the patella. The finest tubes are 2 cm section, and the whole is still rigid and stable.
Everything has already been said in other reviews, but I might add that I do not find this tripod so heavy as that. It is very well adjusted as the simple rotation of the arm already allows for a sufficiently fluid panoramic video for casual use, knowing that a good video head is quite expensive.
In addition to aluminum feet while the platen mechanism and the articulation of the same column are made of metal, which is not obvious to see on the screen. The interlocks tubes are solid plastic, but are adjustable with a supplied key.
The hook is removable under the foot and provided with a spring. The armrest can be removed completely from the tripod to turn around if needed.
A second screw for receiving the ball, of greater diameter is provided, housed in the plate.
There are three separate settings for the rotation of the arm, the height and scale. No game is present once everything is tight, without forcing.
Finally the carrying bag is decent quality, it can contain without problems the foot and head, in this case the SBH-100 of the same brand. A small screw kit / convenient setting is provided. The stonebag, kind of fabrics triangle that hangs under the foot for lester, is optional.
What more for the price?
This perfect product was shipped quickly, as always.
