What do you get?
Complete the tripod with my camera (D7000 + Tamron 28-70 - reweighed 1460g) is extended overburdened. The head is stable and keeps the camera at any angle easily fixed but even the slightest touch can shake the tripod. But that's what I expect so.
Excluding retracted the lower leg segment and the central rod, which is already much better. Then you have to squat while behind the tripod. But honestly, I'm the photograph anyway usually in a squatting position. Therefore, the amount is just right. And since even nowadays must no longer look through the viewfinder at dSLR, the working height plays only a minor role anyway.
Excluding the two lower leg segments in it, the tripod is stable enough even for long exposures and macro. I still recommend mirror lockup and remote release (or at least self-timer). However, that makes even with the best tripod meaningful.
Conclusion:
Because for me the priority was to portability, not stability at maximum height, my expectations were fully met.
Half a point I would disconnect because you could spendieren a strap or at least one eye. I want the tripod not cram between the inserts always in the backpack and would still like hands free. But I still find a solution.
PS: If you read other recessions here, you can only scratch the head. A jack of all trades there is not nunmal. A tripod with a fighting weight of one kilo can not be stable.
Small, light, low and stable align themselves with tripods mutually exclusive.
