The pillars are made, manufactured for this size very massive, aluminum and also the ball head makes a very robust impression!
The Cullman is folded very compact and fits virtually in or on any camera bag. In addition was in the package also a small package O-rings around the camera housing scratch before to protect.
Load bearing capacity:
For full-frame DSLR's certainly a bit weak, but it keeps the correct position even my D5100 with 55-300 lens! And that's for such a tiny a lot already!
And by the way, I find the design quite chic, but that's a matter of taste.
Only four stars for the simple reason:
I had not been in extreme outdoor and want to first wait how it gets there.
For the money and the 10-year manufacturer's guarantee a very strong buy recommendation!
