+ Very fast delivery
+ Wrapped in a rain protector
+ In a box is the "tripod" perfectly secure in the plastic foam
+ A bag which protects against scratches included
+ Otherwise, the "tripod" of very good quallität (no sharp edges, grat ...)
+ Even the paint is very good and only bursts from Rough handling with a screwdriver ...
+ Dragonflies is up to the 2 (screws, bearings ... are made of steel) everything from alu
+ No cheap compressed ball bearings ensure smooth movement
+ In the pictures, it is not shown, but for me are cm-making imprinted on the mounting plates, which considerably facilitates the adjustment. 1cm finished left, 1,25cm forward ...
+ Which are mounting plates on the x and y axis secured, as with good film tripods (3 leg) can here not accidentally fall off the camera
+ Had previously repeatedly Glidecam and a steady borrowed (with vest). With practice I was able to bring the cam in 15-20min in the lot. It only takes 1-5min
+ The rubber to the mounting plate are of very good quallität
+ The weight plate is thinner than in Tarion and provided with threads, so that an external monitor can be installed ...
+ The weight plate is provided at the bottom rubber feet with 4 to turn off the tripod securely (with cam)
+ The handle is open at the bottom, so you can safely attach the tripod leg on a 3
+ The 2 screws in the mounting plates can be manually, slot or tighten Allen and the hand strap not wiggle back and forth (to dismantle the screw also)
+ Otherwise, everything is with slit, provided allen screws ... so you can dismantle everything
- During disassembly of me pretty strong oil odor is noticed, which is not exactly healthy smell and is under such conditions worked in CHINA
- I am aware the Glidecam gakauft and not of Tarion, I'm assumed that the tripod, as at 200-500 gizmos have screw thread that will bring the cam into the lot, but this is not the case here
- The 2 screws that connect the handle with the tripod have a ridge at the end of the slot and have started something. I have filed. (Coolant would have been too expensive)
- The screws for adjustment are knurled different but still ok
- Although that came tripod original packaging, it was from the processing slightly oily, sandy and dusty (probably too expensive to clean it yet)
- An instruction on how to bring the cam into place (2sec case) is not settled, but there are videos on utube
- And a small inverted "mushroom" of plastic would be quite helpful. Almost every rental returns with something like this in homegrown to the tripod must be based on a table edge and bring the cam quickly and easily into place. (Better yet with a clamping screw)
Despite the small flaws I can only awarded 5 stars because the tripod is worth every star. Hoping that the dealer for an improvement makes. Some loss-making when shopping, but more selling tripods and ensures full customer satisfaction.
