Useless for DSLR

I have the tripod in the version 200T ball head CB5.1 tried with quick coupling and sent to a five-minute test again on Amazon back. First, the positive impression the decisive factor in this is that I have forgiven even 2 stars despite my disappointment:

+ The tripod comes well packaged and with a pretty solid carrying case (Schnürbeutel)
+ The compact dimension of the stand makes it fit to travel and the 800 gram weight are accurate to the point
+ The workmanship is very good. Even if the material is entirely plastic, the stand has a pleasant feel and can be safely set up

But now to the less beautiful properties

- According to the manufacturer specification carries the stand 2 kg (my DSLR with lens has a weight of 1.6 kg). The tripod carrying the camera well if you is placed directly on the ball (ie perpendicular rests according to the gravity on the tripod). Those who want to take pictures in portrait format is then but ill be surprised if he / she sets the times Kugelkopft otherwise (which is actually a ball when not to change to portrait mode). Even if you etrem firmly tightens the set screw, the camera works suddenly forward and has no hold. The problem is not so much of the ball head (sitting firmly) but the 1/4 inch Verbinding with the camera. Since you can also tighten as you want, the tripod keeps the camera is not easy. I then removed all times of the camera, which has brought additional weight (battery grip), same problem.

- The thumbscrews for locking the ball joint are a bit small and therefore they do not build clever leverage what quickly leads to aching fingertips

Conclusion I:

This tripod is a great product and very well made.

Conclusion II:

The specified 2 KG Tragkfraft wrong when you attach a DSLR interchangeable lens camera (maybe it would be a 35 mm fixed focal length hold). I recommend this tripod therefore only for use with compact cameras or bridge cameras. The manufacturer, I recommend to test the product again and if necessary adapt the description and the intended use.
