The delivery is next to the tripod with separately usable (detachable) monopod ball-head, a second short center column, a load hook for added weight, complete tool and a quality, stable carrying case with handle and removable strap. That the ball head is one of them, puts the price compared with competitors. It's a good resilient, flexible in softness adjustable ball head with 3 spirit levels and Giotto-release plate. The latter is - I thought - a small flaw: I would have liked an Arca Swiss compatible adapter plate. But if necessary can replace the unit. I want it now not because the Giotto bracket automatically locks when mounting the camera to the AC drive and bomb stuck. Settling goes with a short handle. With the short center column and legs wide gespreitzten a very near-ground camera position can be realized. But you can also use the column is reversed and the camera on the head using ;-) also serves screwed onto the monopod to carry the camera. Installation - with or without ball head possible - is a little expensive. The mobility of the legs can be easily adjusted using the supplied Imbuswerkzeug of buttery soft to hard - I prefer heavy adjustability with pretty much Krafaufwand because the legs so safely remain in their position, if you just once fully implement the tripod. The leg segments can be easily solved with a quarter-turn or lock - no matter in what order to do this. From the functionality it is therefore stands with "Klip" closure at least equal. Tripod and head wear very well my full frame camera with battery grip and very heavy tele zoom in portrait and landscape orientations. All four segments fully extended, the tripod, however, is a little shaky. This is necessary but with the long center column at my height definitely not (1,68m), with three full-line segments I have with the long center column enough playing upwards. The standard angle I find a bit too steep, the second tilt adjustment is very wide and makes only at ground-level perspective sense. It would be even more desirable that the legs would be engaged in another position. The pack size is comparatively short, however, only possible with the long center column - the legs are "turned up" to this. Mounted with the short column disturbs the head here. Overall, I'd like to give 4.5 stars after a short use. Do not go, why are these times five's. When I used the Giotto's intense, I would add durability.
