I can not understand all the negative ratings. The stand is stable and does the job excellently. And that the quality is not earth shattering, one should really have thought before. After all, cost comparable tripods from brand manufacturers more than 40 (!) Eggs more. Well, that does not fold out the feet regularly is partly true already, best buys you this tripod in the store and try several easy through until you find a suitable. It also equal the set screw to try etc ... I am very satisfied with my. It is far more stable than the small rubber foot Tires Stink tripod of Hama (which I now use as a true "miniature tripod" if I'd like to quickly take my little Exilim without much baggage) and holds much heavier cams without falling, even a portable audio recorder could easily keep this tripod. Who etc. for parties a mini tripod needs I would the little rubber thing of Hama recommend (Why? Because it does not slip) set beforehand but please few days before the door so that it ausstinkt !!! : P This one stinks though not at all, but slips very well on smooth surfaces, right, plastic feet. For outdoor use or not completely smooth surfaces, it is perfect! The stand is very compact in the assembled state and fits loosely in my camera bag.
Also: The three feet are extensible to right legs and the stand is bigger than you can imagine from pictures her at all. This results in significantly increased stability.
(Please note the price !!) So if you are looking for a mini tripod for its small to medium-sized (!) Digital camera and will thereby fulfill one purpose and not zuu demanding is, is well advised with this part! The screw of the ball Eiger is very smooth, but sits very firmly if mans times missile? (Full-aluminum). The design I find succeeded the thing grabs quite wertig on. I'm ready very satisfied.
My Rating: 4/5 - Hellooo! The Price !!
One star deduction for the accidental irregularities in the construction, which can be annoying for online order very. Therefore: try in the store and!
