A great tripod, high-quality workmanship, low vibration carries without problems certainly my DSLR with lens (together approximately 1.2 kg). It looks on top for my taste of noble. The rubberized shell of the upper leg third ensures a comfortable grip during assembly. The tripod is set up quickly (the legs fall when loosening the clamps by itself out), the leg locks are robust and give a good grip. Should they wear off times, they can even use the supplied Allen key readjust. There are rubber stoppers on the feet. On this the tripod is well on smooth surfaces. Outdoor you can see the rubber stopper and screw in small spikes come out. Nice detail: You can not lose the rubber stopper, since they are not fully mounted. The included 3-way head makes a good impression. It consists of high quality plastic acting (can also be partially with plastic coated metal, the material definitely makes a robust impression). The center rod is simultaneously a monopod, that can be removed. Also a very short central bar is for shooting from a low altitude. This is packaged in a small bag that can be attached to the stand (and thus taken anywhere). The maximum altitude is indeed given as about 169 cm. When taking advantage of the monopod pole right and the legs is somewhat steeper, to reach a much higher for tall people working height (there are more than more 20 cm loose inside) without losing noticeably stability. This is for me as a 2-meter man very well in situations where I work with manual focus (eg at night photography). The weight goes to the stability still okay. Much easier would be only the Carbon version of this stand, but it will cost more. I've looked at many stands in stores and finally came to the conclusion that this tripod exactly as rather demanding but price-conscious amateur is the right choice for me. When registering with Cullmann there currently even 10-year warranty. That speaks for the quality in my opinion.
Tipp: Order matching bag equal. The Cullmann Tripod Bag small is high-quality (sturdy material Rainproof) and the tripod fits milimeter exactly pure.
