To sum up briefly. Very stable and solid tripod, flexible by the very wide Spreizmöglichkeit and the partial and reversible column. At this price, in combination with the likewise stable and well controllable tripod head an amazing feat. Only the use of or the removal of the quick-release plate is a little fiddly, but not enough for me at the price of point deduction. The only real problem of me about three years ago bought (for analog medium format and DSLR) stand was the wing nut to lock the tripod head-turning movement. It was a plastic clamp mount for an ordinary hexagon screw head, the plastic part had eventually get a crack and was now broken and fallen. The Germany Sales thereupon a free replacement lock screw sent me, which has now been improved and is now more or less all of a piece, so that this problem can no longer occur. Such support you would like more!
