Since I do not usually directly for the camera but a variety of accessories (ext. Flash, smaller lamps, shotgun microphone, Zoom H4n recorder) I wanted a tripod without changing plates, which is solved here extremely practical with the small screw.
As you can see from the pictures, simply the small adapter screw, not a difficult tighten as with various removable disks. Then simply push and tilt levers.
The stand holds sometimes easily my D7000 with fixed focal length, if it is not just exaggerates the amount.
After the usual short familiarization I like the handling with the handle still more: both the right and with the left one can align very closely and set simultaneously with your thumb and forefinger the resistance using the large wheel, no verwackelndes gripping the lock needed.
Of course one must not expect the softness of a fluid heads. That brings me to my main point of criticism: Unfortunately, it seems impossible to separate the tripod head from the tripod!
Moreover, I find it a shame that you get the tripod no deeper than 43cm, although the extension is still 7cm above the ground.
Conclusion:
All in all a super convenient lightweight tripod, with very well dissolved tripod head, for the price you can not go wrong.
