I bought the tripod for my Canon EOS 500D. After intensive Browse I finally came across this tripod. Qualitatively, it makes a very good impression and is well made for the price. On most of all I missed a spirit level on the ball head, because it is merely attached a small spirit level above the tripod legs. For parallel alignment of the camera you have to look for other landmarks then. A carrying bag is mitgeliert. The term travel tripod not quite true, because that I find it a little too big. Very practical, the two recesses on the ball head to the camera are aligned horizontally. I highly recommend this tripod any novice photographer.
