Hi Guys! Since I am traveling by bicycle in fields and meadows often, I was looking for a camera tripod, which can be folded as small as possible, yet is reasonably stable. By Mantona Travel I have found it. That the delivery was fast and everything was well packed, you really need not mention it in the Amazon. The great joy came to me then after unpacking. The tripod attaches incl. Bag scarce 35 cm and weighs cpl. 408 g. This is to take home the go again, great and hard to beat. Who now believes that it is now at the expense of stability, more wrong! It is not about any Plastiksch ..... but distortion-free, lightweight yet sturdy aluminum (I think I'm not a metal expert). The tripod is rock solid on all cases. My not very high expectations were far exceeded the price and I am simply thrilled with the part. Absolute buy recommendation. Those looking for a lightweight, sturdy tripod to take away walking or cycling, which I can put this model only warmly recommend!
