Have the tripod chosen because I wanted to have a light travel tripod. The weight is super light. The height of the image, however, can hardly adjust exactly: I use an EOD 70D with 18-135mm lens (together weighs about 1300g.) Although if you losdreht the locking screw to compose the image, then firmly rotate the camera and lets go, thus keeping the hinge, but the plastic head bends so that the lens gently slopes downward. The head is designed clearly too weak for them 1300g heavy camera. Appearances 3kg. 3 strene deduction, the stand goes back.
