As has extra features that 580ST three legs that enable the tripod can stand on its own. For this, the foot is taken off; the legs are attached so that they disappear when not in use in the stand. With the folded legs of the foot is then screwed back on, the stand is now on his own. As these, however, are only quite thin, they can indeed carry the weight - but it remains shaky. Therefore, the tripod is in this way only conditionally fit for the camera; not extended and with remote release, it should however not be a problem. Otherwise, this type of use is probably intended more as a flash or tripod accessories.
The stand height can be varied 55-170 cm in a pack size of 55 cm. With 820g the tripod is no lightweight
As with all magnesite tripods Cullmann granted on this tripod 10-year warranty upon registration.
Conclusion: Can I recommend.
