Folded up the tripod head together is just 44cm long (measured itself, the manufacturer's instructions I have just not in the head), lightweight and slim. Thus, it fits easily into even the smallest travel bag, even in my everyday backpack I bring it down with a little effort. By 4 extendable leg segments and the addition extendable center column reached the tripod fully extended a perfect working height - the viewfinder of my DSLR is exactly at eye level (at a height of 180cm). It is - in terms of weight and price - surprisingly stable and rigid. Of course it may with a professional tripod with a tenfold price and weight do not keep up, but it is completely suitable for everyday use and really well finished and high quality. No comparison with various noNamespaceSchemaLocation and cheap tripods.
Concerns should be that the stand is designed according to the manufacturer for compact cameras up to lightweight DSLRs with small lens or small camcorder. It should also be known that the maximum load (in this case 1.5kg) does not mean that the tripod with a camera of this weight is not the best use of, but that the manufacturer up to this weight ensures that the tripod is not under the weight collapses. More than most, 1kg should not expect this small, dainty stand, it is also stable and bend anything.
The Head. For this I've read quite a bit negative here.
For a camera tripod, I find the head perfectly. It can be quickly and intuitively with a handle solve / fix and adjust in every imaginable position. It was reported here, the head would "wander" and could not be fixed properly. I can confirm that in any way. Once fixed, the head keeps really bombproof, in any position, with an almost 1000g heavy camera off. There is not the slightest game.
However, the head is completely unsuitable for panning when shooting video. The head can be switched by means of a rotary knob between photo and video recording. In "video mode" the lateral inclination of the head is locked and can only be adjusted horizontally and vertically. So the theory. In practice, this works unfortunately not so good. The head has (in dissolved locking wheel) and sideways a very big game. There is no attenuation, movements only succeed jerkily, and every movement of the head is accompanied by loud friction noises that can be clearly heard on the recording. Thus, it is definitely not a video head, even if the manufacturer is trying to mediate this. To record video, without panning the course is not a limitation. A dragonfly / water balance would also be useful, but is not available.
A pity, I find that the head mounted fixed and not interchangeable. The MKC3 is offered optionally with the hybrid head (H01) or with a simple ball head (P01). I would have liked a few euros upped the ante in order for it to get a reasonably useful Videoneiger, or the possibility to retrofit such.
Overall, I think this MKC3 yet for a successful product, the price-performance ratio is definitely true, and it exactly meets my needs. That the head for video recordings is less suitable, I finally knew before buying.
And at the request minimal packing in ordinary working height I know so far no viable alternative.
Thus, there is actually 5 stars from me.
A star deduction there, because the manufacturer called the tripod as a video tripod while even suggesting smooth and blur-panorama pans, what I absolutely can not confirm even with well-meaning consideration.
