Tripod is very good and meets my needs completely.
Use it with a Nikon D5100 and Tamron SP 150-600 and had no problems at all.
Use the tripod almost every day since several months.
The ball head is not bad, but for the Tamron I've bought another with friction setting and the difference is very clear.
But the value for money for the combination is absolutely ok and my full Kauemphehlung persists.
One of the MGA Vorrezensienten has described as a secret and I am grateful to him, there is one!
