relative stable lightweight

So first is this tripod a real space-mini wonder about 30 cm. By the complete folding the legs
Direction tripod head, this tripod is an absolute pipsqueak ... perfect.
The opening and closing of the legs works using rotary clamps. This goes well and also
quite quickly by hand. For folding down the legs you have the leg joint
press the ratchet down to release the lock. Works easy and convenient.
Legs have a non-slip rubber coating.
The ball head is relatively small, and I do not trust him my camera ... I have my head against
an even better and more stable changed. For small cameras, he may well be still acceptable ...
but ne Alpha 580 with Sigma 17-70 ... was so dangerous to walk to the area with it.

I have a large pistol grip mounted on it, yet you can still fold the legs .... Prima.
The shortcoming of the original head, for me, the fixing only by a knurled screw to Tripod Holder.
The screw is loosened for some reason too, can slip out the camera. Otherwise, the head is really impeccable.
Very fine to be rotated and rubber-coated rotating wheels ... 1) a for fixing the retaining plate ... 2) a
for the fixation of the ball head, and 3) one for the 360 ​​degree adjustment. Perfect for panoramic pans, because with
Degree display. Also, I find that you can tighten the screws very well and then hold good .... but the risk of loosening
the tripod plate without a securing bolt or the like, is too dangerous. While under the plate is a small pin,
but this prevents the complete slip out of his head only slightly dissolved screw.
Better a fully enclosed Stavivplattenhalterung would have been. This one holds only laterally.
If one wants to with his camera mounted on the tripod, roam the land and the screw dissolves, for whatever reason .... slip ... swish.

The legs can be spread by the way also in several stages and to 35 cm height.

Small drawback of the stand is that the center column so you can see on the picture is not completely adjustable. Only they can
is again so far off (and the continuously) but this then is a bit shaky. I think that would be recommended only with no wind or in the interior.
Too bad that you would probably not technich provides that the column can be completely adjusted. But by folding down the
Legs will probably no place for a locking screw of the center column.

All in all a highly recommended nevertheless stand, if only because of the pack size.
Also stylish it what makes her, by the color and shape.

As already mentioned, would be a safe installation of the device on the tripod head desirable (safety lever, cotter pin or the like)
Definitely head for smaller cameras like the Canon G12 or bridge cameras is much better suited than large chunks.
As I said ... I changed the head and am satisfied now.
Light yet relatively stable. A hook of the center column serves to hold luggage or to weigh down the tripod.
Very good workmanship.
