The tripod does the job. It is pleasantly light to build simple, holds and for amateur filmmakers a great alternative. Just a pity that no instructions enclosed. The I mentioned ease in construction is definitely given, but at first glance confuse many parts yet very. In addition, FAS tripod not optimally adjusted, so that the camera does not immediately grade sitting, but slightly inclined obliquely to the side. You have to help out a little. Therefore, "only" 4/5 stars - still happy and a convenient alternative.
