I let me give for Christmas the tripod. My first impression was quite positive. The only thing I could write as "negative", would be the fifth wheel plate. This does not sit really tight in the head. But what is not a problem because can not accidentally fall out the camera. What I've noticed in other reviews that some believe I just screws everything first broken and must turn. Why? The threaded screws and fulfill its purpose under normal use! Use a tripod with a D5100 and can absolutely recommend it. As a small tip maybe ... All rotating and schwenkverbindungungen spray with silicone spray. Then everything runs smooth.
