The Action Cam float through time and space? Possibly, but only at a snail's pace.

Video at Amazon.com View After studying the first reviews on this tripod, to me is the extent to which manufacturers Mantona than weaknesses and shortcomings eliminated in the processing, or whether earlier batches were simply shipped erroneously. Because the described and totally credible problems many users, I can (as of 14/12/2014) not confirmed.

The feel and quality of the stand itself is impeccable. Delivered in a gentle foam-shell, all holes and threads are made clean and error free. This is especially true for the three accompanying weights also lower boom firmly and without can be fixed to wiggle in this form. Also an adapter for GoPro is my delivery, but this additional equipment may be incurred in connection with the Vine-progam. Then the trick was indeed legal, but cheap and thereby connected with a slight aftertaste.

Either way, the connection with a GoPro, but also with a commercially available compact camera (Lumix TZ41-), designed without problems, an integrated spirit level helps buoyancy and thus the alpha and omega for a peaceful and successful video sequence. It is in this function that Mantona tripod is limited, because while in quiet shots, so in standing and walking, a very smooth gliding of shots promotes great results day, the image is for example in frantic movements and when running too rough, bumpy and bad , The curtailing systemic somewhat the intended use in relation to Action Cams but is hardly avoidable.

Other disadvantages? Actually, very little. The price / performance ratio for a tripod in the entry-level segment is appropriate, the handling requires some familiarization and skill. Here the manufacturer has the ultimate consumer, unfortunately a bit out in the cold and relies on ambitious experiments of household, because a seriously helpful guide is not attached. For remedy a trip to the world's largest video platform where can find many meaningful tests and application examples provide.
