Only the middle plastic support could be out to boost also from aluminum, as these if it is pulled out seems a bit wobbly.
However, this does not interfere too much, because the tripod with fully extended legs high enough anyway.
With the oil-damped head can be really beautiful, professional-looking pans realized because it is possible to move very smoothly in both the horizontal and vertical directions of the head. The tripod plate is also handy and can be dropped easily. But you should always make sure that you do not forget :)
However, can not quite keep up with professional products processing of the head. The handle dissolves over time and it is not all one hundred percent fixed. For example, the camera back a bit going to the end of the pan when you let go of the handle and reduces pressure on back. Not dramatically, but noticeably.
Even more do these weaknesses with strong telephoto shots noticeable. The many joints, the bulky tripod head and the small tripod plate contribute to that particularly starts to wobble relatively strong even at small telephoto for heavier cameras, the image section. This can also be seen with the naked eye if you slightly move the kamere on the tripod. From the steered the supports to the tripod plate add up the inaccuracies and ensure vibrations. Even the operation of the controller can trigger such a strong tremor shooting at telephoto sometimes that this is useless.
This is the disadvantage of this grawierendste tripod, so who has a larger camera with no optical image stabilizer and happy aufanimmt strongly telephoto, at its should be aware.
Ultimately, however, the price / performance ratio is good and who can not accept the disadvantages at the telephoto end, should take up a professional model or in addition to a tripod with ball head for telephoto shots, for this price, this is unacceptable and brings therefore only deliver a point.
From me, then a buy rating - with limitations!
