Because I wanted to fix my system flashes via hot shoe and align wanted. The use of a system camera was first out of the question:
My first impressions
Packaging: WOW, my first Taped package that I could tear as it has been already pre-cut! Super, honest!
Instructions: Well you need not really, but nice meant.
Quality: From hand feeling her it feels very good, and the optical ago it also looks good.
Aussattung: The feet of the tripod are topsy rubberized bottom, what one sees but again only when you look at the stand from the bottom. So the tripod looks discreet.
The ball head is composed of a metal ball and the camera plate has a 1/4 "inch thread.
The ball head is clamped by a spring clamp. When you press the button, the clamping is released and thus you can move the ball head.
Is there also a counterpoint !?
Oh yes, there are the unfortunately. And are indeed negatively noticed as in other reviews, the noise of the ball head while moving, and partly of the button you have to push in to release the ball head is partly stiff.
Now how can this be correct?
You need a screwdriver with Torx namely a T9, also we need viscous grease.
If you turn the stand so you can see directly 3 Torx screws when dissolving the, you get the mount included the feet into their own hands.
Now, if the parts have been put aside, one sees the heart, as the clamping work. However, do not worry us coming up nothing.
Now you can see additional 4 Torx screws that are loosened, you should but the ball head and the lower part to hold, so that not everything is flying apart.
Now these 4 screws solved we have 3 parts, a plate with the knob / slider and the spring, a clamp with the socket where the ball runs in it and the ball head.
Now take the fat and slightly grease the ball from below, also the ball socket well. (Note the spring was greased with me, but I could hardly or no fat on the ball detect. If you want you can also grease the slide, however, only the treads. Is that going to happen built the tripod back together.
The ball head on the hand but take flipped on placing the ball socket plate, making sure that it is properly seated in it! Located on a corner it has a recess and the ball head holder also for an extra "pin", so you CAN make nothing wrong! Thereafter, the plate with the slide is placed here as well, it is not hard to find the right position. As the ball head holder has a recess for the slide.
If that is done, we screw 2 Torx screws crosswise in, but make sure that the sitting also just! Once this is done, you screwed the other 2 also pure.
----> Important: When tightening make sure that they are not too tight and not too loose anschraubt !!!!, if too tight: slide can no longer be purely press, too loose, ball head clamps not correctly !!!!
So if that is done, you can take the base is where the feet, the nameplates inwards, sets the screwed-together ball head on top that also fit again only 1x !!!! and draws the last 3 Torx screws on.
Now it has far less running noise than before, when adjusting the ball head.
Can you recommend this mini tripod?
Yes, you can, Amazon currently had the tripod to ~ 15, because you can not go absolutely wrong. For a system camera it is very good, due to a DSRL camera. You should be the eighth one not too big lenses draufsetzt, good also they have Tripod mounts, but that did not sense this stand! There are far better "small" tripod Berlebach like, or small and fine Cullmann Nanomax 200T.
For suggestions in my reviews or improvements the comment bar is available. I hope I could help you more, before you classify me as unhelpful, writes me dear. I'm here not advertise other brands, I have all the products mentioned at home itself.
************************
Addendum: Hab grad combining Olympus OMD E-M1 + HLD7 + ZD 50-250 SWD tried works, looks also not bad at all, total weight including stand 2.2kg.
But as already mentioned for every now and then you can take it, but there's something right for tripods and right ball joints, especially because of the vibration.
In the manual it is explained in the pictograph: Preferably Compact System Cameras, alternatively or due a) DSRL with standard lenses b) Compact cameras c) iPhone + KLYP (probably the bracket)
