Extremely positively surprised me: the clean processing, the quick and easy assembly and disassembly, the safe state with high stability, the large extension height that leaves nothing to be desired, the korkbeschichtete clutch plate to the camera and last but not least the great fluid head with 2 Levels - the more ambitious amateur photographer really does not need. I have many stands to more than double the price levels tested, the Triad 60 Lite was for me the best.
Small limitations:
- No lightweight but with 1800 g (! Not 3 kg) is still acceptable,
- The fluid head, the video films with the camera almost indispensable (once experienced, you do not want him to miss more) crawling slightly,
- The hook for the camera bag in order to increase the stability still further, I would have liked metal (hope he does not break at some point down)
- The carrying case could be cushioned somewhat in order to better protect the good piece.
Otherwise a lot of truth in what has already been said here, which I do not have to repeat. Buy recommendation with no ifs and buts!
