After much research and comparison on the net to find a tripod both compact when folded and a reasonable height when unfolded, I tried this choice and I am very satisfied. Certe it is not perfect. It is true that the head of adjusting screws are a bit small for big fingers but it takes away nothing other assets. It's reasonably easy to handle and weight. I recommend it highly for those who travel and / or they do not want to be encumbered with bulky and heavy feet. Little more, nothing prevents you subsequently invest in a brand head. I had forgotten ... the price hyper interesting and quality at the rendezvous.
