Beautifully it looks so, the silvery small tripod. The legs are painted with a silver paint with glitter effect, the head is apparently made of matt aluminum. But beauty is not everything. Here's what I have to complain about: the legs can not be angled sideways far enough, as a result, the already lightweight digital cameras like the Canon PowerShot A520 which is screwed eccentrically, are no longer stable but threatening look alone through to wobble. The ball head is anything but smooth and tilted very slightly, if you want to change the position. Something to hakelig for my taste. Well done, however, is the quick hard bolt, which can detect both the horizontal rotatable member of the head and the vertically movable part of a rotation. My conclusion: For cameras with Eccentric tripod nut on the weight category of small Canon PowerShot A520 unfortunately useless.
