Better than expected 26

Caveat: fully satisfied!
Time based on the stigma of another, what I like about this: Did this compared to the comparably priced Manfrotto and Sirui monopod.
- The Sirui is excreted directly in the first test. The screw should be well practically, my problem: it had fully extended and wanted to test the stability, as two members are retracted me again ... You can not see whether open or closed ... tug screw try after a long search, I thought that everything fixed, mount the camera, point it out ... and it may just catch. One of the members was probably not so firmly as intended and retracted by the weight of the camera. NO GO!
- The Manfrotto has the usual narrow clamping closures, which I already know from my tripod and in general there seemed to be as usual meticulously crafted. That "caved in" a little under light pressure from above it, thus pressed bulgy around the middle, is, I thought was "in the nature of things", because just one leg has to do, what else do three. The only drawback seemed to me by then the working height. I'm 1.95 and would have probably done with a slight bending to work with, at an on / in a little pinching for improved stability was cross but not to think.

-> Since I discovered here on Amazon this Giotto and thought "return free, why not even try". I'm excited! It is surprisingly light. The clamp closures are handier than Manfrotto, lock perfectly. When extended, it is in fact about 1.80 long ... and the best: even undressed so it makes the impression that I could do chin-ups on it. Not a kink or wobbles only. Did it then abused in the first photo tour directly as cane and. Without any concerns

Highly Recommended !!!

If you have questions: happy :)
