For years, I am looking for a lightweight travel tripod for a fair price, the (currently Nikon D7000) also carries my SLR safe and that you like to take anyway with. The whole is always a compromise, because light and stable course, a contradiction in terms. But this stand now finally fulfilled my expectations. I have a Cullmann Magnesite screwed 2.1 ball head on it and the whole makes the camera a super stable impression. Hard to believe, even when fully extended thin Carbonbeinchen is the stand like a rock!
There are certainly other tripods in the market meet these criteria. But at this price?
I am finally happy with my tripod purchase! A joy to hold, and to build on! I hope it holds over the years, the expectations ...
