I like the height as it lets see eg above the ferns to film animals like deer, then for stability if we want to film and rotate the camera, I find that the fluidity is right, it gives of blows to the film, we must avoid touching the tripod if your video jump ... In terms of the camera, mine is 1.5kg with the above objective. It is maintained but I will not trust him to heavier ... So tripod that is worth its price that can be described as ok
