The stand is small and lightweight, the perfect stand for ever take away. The light weight limits the field of application, however, also quite a. I tested with an EOS 450D with attached battery grip and the 18-55mm kit lens with Spiegelvorauslöung and vibration correction off. At the time of the shooting there was a moderate wind (lt. Weather Pro on my S4 about 20km / h). Even with these conditions, the tripod without additional stabilization is no longer usable, my 20 test photos were out of focus despite careful manual focus (Night Scene). And no, I have not focused wrong ..... the cross-check with the same objective with the same focus with the EOS 6D of a friend gave sharp images. The low weight bought one with a fairly limited field of application, about you should be aware. The build quality is good, the tripod feels dibasic. The head looks very small, but holds above combination quite securely and firmly. Even if you (the manufacturer provides a hook with wisely) with additional stabilizing the tripod certainly improved a lot, I can not really understand the praise of previous speakers, when the tripod is used with DSLR. For manufacturers, the tripod is lt. Not really designed.
