After usual fast delivery, I could try the tripod just as quickly. I have been the Mantona Scout with the Bilora 2258 Used ball head and was actually of the opinion that this tripod is quite stable. Comparing the stands side by side, acts the Mantona Scout almost like a child's tripod. The Amazonasics tripod is high and stable in the execution. All parts run smoothly and made of valued material. The tripod head is also made massive and meets my requirements consistently. Undoubtedly there it heads higher quality, whose operation is smoother and more frivolous, but these costs alone significantly more than the Amazon tripod all in all. Also the associated bag is processed properly and I see no criticisms. As a special bonus, I would like the two Quick release plates highlight. For my Manfrotto ball head I paid 17.00 euros alone for an additional quick release plate. I would recommend the tripod without hesitation to anyone who wants a good tripod with head at a reasonable price. There are certainly better Tripods / heads slightly the cost but then 6 times and more. However, this has to decide for himself according to his wishes and budget.
