"Scalded cat" with no solid tripods I took it. He has the strength that I wanted but I admit to not having paid enough attention to its folded height: 72 cm with the patella. It's heavy, it's true, but what bothers me is the little size. Because of this, it is not a tripod to someone who wants to carry around everywhere with his tripod.
By cons, with its ball and ball level, it's perfect for a studio - grade 5/5.
