What I particularly gefälllt on this stand, are the small pack size and the extensive facilities. It weighs very little and is folded comfortably small. The bag with shoulder strap is very useful when you are traveling. I do not drag myself with this tripod while traveling definitely broken. The bag itself is mutifunktional well usable (I run not explained - everything is in the product description). The tripod can be quickly and easily set up. The knobs could be better replaced by quick-release fasteners for my taste. Good: All 3 legs are padded with foam (which can be removed). My fingers were first leg Wintershoooting this very grateful. For macro photography really great, can be a part of the center rod remove. Thus, the altitude will be reduced even further. It is very stable. The ball head is actually somewhat tricky. Here I would have rather wished for a lever. And the rubber of the knob actually dissolves easily in attracting strong. Not so great - because you must put on actually stronger with heavier artillery, so that everything keeps well. If you know it, then presents you some mm higher one, because as much is for the building if one puts a heavier lens. But then it also holds bombproof. The shoe can be good start. In the dark. The water balance is for a ton. So you can start anything. The Einbeinfunktion is beginning a fumble. When it once white, then it goes very quickly. Nett this way, is the little extra belt pouch for hooking the abbreviated EB-tripod. Well thought and well done! Another nice gimmick is the small table tripod. Is quite good - even with a slightly larger lens. And: You can also lock to eg rods or branches it with two Velcro straps. But then the camera should not be too difficult. All in all a really good travel tripod which enjoys a pack size, its weight and smart features. I would buy me at any time. Those who expect true professional features, should better buy a professional tripod!
