Below the tripod plate 35 centimeters around reinforced with comfortable grip and durable and very low odor foam. So the tripod is securely in your hand. And made the tripod outdoors in winter - easy to handle. The monopod is quickly ready for use and in the amount (minimum 55 cm - maximum 170 cm) adjustable and can be locked quickly with three hinge-like brackets. To adjust the leg cramps is an Allen key. Since the pedestal (diameter: 3 cm) rounded rubber - can be monopod good moves.
In monopod still hide three feet. By unscrewing the knob stand down, the well-crafted from sturdy aluminum feet come out. The grippy and stable head screwed off again - ready. The tripod stand both on soft and on hard surfaces safely (carpet, grass, concrete, uneven forest paths and meadows, etc.). However, the three feet are only 5 mm x 5 mm thick and 23 cm long each. So it should be clear that one should keep in mind the tripod, if cameras are screwed with larger lenses or a tripod is widely extended. It seems to me to be more suitable for a flash. Nevertheless, I have the feet also can use very well for photographing with standard lenses. It will be observed - if the screw connection of the little feet and their connection will not turn out to be a weak point. I will grudge here, if here problem will cease after prolonged use.
The thread (1/4 - 3/8 inch thread can be used) was smooth and precise at the same time rotated so that the first handle sass everything right. I find the tripod very useful: it is suitable for cameras, Digi-Cams or flash units. After registering at Cullmann online there 10 years warranty.
