I'm just excited since since unpacking. The bag I really like capes with thick cord for. I saw the stand and thought Wow. Here really no plastic was processed. The legs snap tired and there really is not a game say it wobbles nothing. Also, the head did not let me up now. Everything is stuck. I had to keep the first time immediately feel a very quality product in hands. The fact that can not be retracted from or the center column does not bother me. On the contrary, I think that the tripod gives more stability. I have bought this stand as a travel tripod for my Fuji X-T1 with various lenses. I have to say I think the stability of this combination is more than adequate and also think the slightly larger cameras easily. The release plate fits the C-10X head in my opinion perfect for XT1 these can be attached so that the battery can still be changed, and the display can be folded. The release plate is pretty small and bother me at all not at the XT1. This quality (processing, weight, stability, compactness, etc.) at this price has more than convinced me. I've looked at many stands before. I recommend the tripod T-005X by Sirui with a clear conscience on. I write very rarely reviews but in this case I have very much taken the time.
