The Cullmann tripod has like other Cullmann products 10 year guarantee. Therefore you have to register online on the website of the manufacturer. The workmanship is very good, very good grip, non-slip and pleasant to touch the foam padding of the tripod as cold metal. With 820g and a stowage factor of about 55cm, it is neither an absolute lightweight still a pipsqueak, at a max. Use size of 170cm to my mind still relatively compact and light, because I'm much bulky dimensions and heavier weights used by my older tripods, so they had to stay at home on vacation mostly because I was the transportation too cumbersome and uncomfortable. The Cullmann monopod is very slim in its stowage factor, so you can very well store it in a side pocket of a backpack. The plate with 1 / 4-3 / 8 inch camera screw can be changed, the conveyor belt of the stand can be removed when the plate is unscrewed. In the foot of the monopod, a 3 Leg Stand Aluminium is integrated. The screw can be opened smoothly and screw it down again, so that you have set up the 3-leg as needed quickly or stored again. Supplied with an Allen wrench is included to determine the Beinklemmung. On conveyor belt also a Quick Reference Guide is attached which gives an overview of the structure of the stand and the application possibilities, and the pack size and the max. Dimensions when set up. For a more flexible use the Cullmann monopod can be retrofitted with a ball head, which is not included in this offer.
