With 1.62 m in the extended state it does not reach that level of more professional tripods, but this is likely to pose a problem in most cases. Just by its compact design - 50 cm in the retracted state - it is very easy to transport, but it weighs 1.4 kg shoulder tolerated. But what limitations you have to otherwise take more into account? As already mentioned at the beginning, suffers the stability of the stand, because of the smaller tube diameter and the lower weight. Just outside this falls on. Although it possesses (ice, etc.) for curing floor spikes but they are unfortunately too small to ensure a better grip. The quick release plate used tends to be "heavier" camera models in the vertical position rotate from the thread counter-clockwise. Ultimately you have to decide to what extent do these obvious disadvantages for individuals noticeable. The One they will not notice the Others, however, due to the likely return the tripod or give a bad review.
I would like to have on the available version with the ball head (CB 6.3) - as opposed to the here tested all-round version (photo & video), this model is more suitable for the pure camera operation as horizontal pans not one with this precision, as in 3-way head, can be performed.
