We take pictures and like a lot. Under low light operations course with tripod. For my D800 I use a really expensive tripod that can the run incl. Battery grip, flash and 'stovepipe lens' wear. For this basic tripod is neither intended nor appropriate.
My son and his D5100 is excited entirely. A lightweight, compact tripod, which is also taken. The large and usually heavy tripods then remain flat but very often at home. Moreover, does not take any tripod situation in the Amazon jungle instead, but often you benötig on relatively level ground, a smooth support for the camera. This is where the Amazon Basic, the quick-release plate helps with the camera and off you go. With the two spirit the tripod is aligned quickly and ready for use. Of course you have to be careful and solve the fixations before pivots the stand, otherwise the elements of drone.
Anyone who wants can turn up on the nose about the storage bag, but here, a look at the price tag. A design award does not win, the transport container, but it works, makes a robust impression and even the shoulder strap can be lengthened.
The essential facts are already described in other reviews, however: the tripod is really easy, has a convenient carrying handle can be worn around incl camera.. The already mentioned dragonflies help with alignment, the legs can be quickly pulled out and fixed, and the feet can be adjusted to normal ground situations.
Conclusion: A clear recommendation for all compact, 'small' SLRs.
