I've never had a tripod that has commanded so many options. With a tripod, I use either a digital SLR or digital bridge camera. The three legs can be significantly extended not only over two pull-out elements, but you can the legs in three latching positions outward bend (30, 60 and 80 degree angle). In addition, you can make at the tips of the legs by means of a swivel stand back-screw from the rubberized Fußabschluß a sharp spike conclusion (of metal). The tripod is kompett extended and fully folded feet to the top of the tripod head in maximum 158,5cm high. Included are two different lengths, sliding center column which measures 40cm long, 14cm short. The bottom of the long central column a hook is screwed, may be attached to the stabilizing weights. The tripod head can be determined by pressing the pistol grip on the ball head joint quickly bring in any desired direction or angle. In addition, the tripod head can be fixed in even separately (see last photo, the small lever in the middle). The tripod head also has an integrated quick-release plate, which is equipped with a special fuse. On the penultimate picture this lever-lever structure is left visible. It can only be opened or closed when both levers are pressed simultaneously. The tripod head also has three small spirit levels with which precise alignment is possible. A fourth level is located at the top of the tripod legs merge, here is to identify whether the stand is positioned straight. Included also is a sufficiently large pocket which receives the folded stand. The bag also has an inside pocket, it was with the smaller supply center column. The bag also has a padded, adjustable in length strap. Included also is an Allen key (3), both the holders of the folding leg locks extracts can be adjusted if needed by, and the fitting between stand-uppers and legs merge can be solved. Unfortunately, a detailed instruction manual was with my delivery not going to only a small folding blade with a short items nomination. But this downside was bearable for me, because the tripod is self-explanatory in itself and very easy to use. I think this is value for money for absolutely fine.
