Bought for my luggage and even with my Nikon D300 and middle lens focuses on the little things, even in portrait work, even though that's already hard to the limits and you have to work with a straight tongue. Shooting in landscape format are good and without shaking possible. I enjoy working with it and the tripod is now an indispensable companion on journeys become that allow little weight and / or luggage and therefore an acceptable compromise, when it comes to necessary situations.
