For Packaging:
When I got the package, I had an approximately 45x35x25cm package in his hand, which was taped sloppy and extremely demolished at one corner was (transportation?). When I opened it I saw paper and another package (approximately 40x23x12cm) that was very neat closed. When I then also had this open, the first thing I was able to take out the included carrying case, which is very convenient. Under his pocket then was finally the tripod. Sure there lay in foam pieces that were on tripod mounted above and below. The handle was wrapped tightly by Luftpoltsterfolie.
Additionally there was a CD that should help adjust his camera right ... It was still the proof of purchase and even a bag with a small allen key and a spare part (part to extend the tripod) in the package.
!! In the package less three weights, screw and nut were scattered to tighten. The other 3
Weights, ... were attached to the tripod. Absolute NoGo !!!
To Steadycam: not suitable for small cameras!
When I have the tripod of film ... free, I picked it up and found that the rubber grip easily slip off. Still, I was surprised at the quality, processing and above all by the ball bearings, which run extremely smoothly. I have my Sony alpha580 (600g) bolted to the stand and it balanced. It took a long time until I was finished. The scale on the rail but this helps. The rail is greased so that you can easily and smoothly move the rail. Without the weights Steadycam weighs about 1.3kg. Using weights (4x100g, 2x200g) weighs about 2.1kg it
When I once it screwed my great camcorder, came again to 2kg. to keep this weight (4.1kg) is exhausting. Annoying that the handle by the weight slips up. For those who can be tiring to carry the weight, but there are arm rests / Arm Brace relieve the wrist. Cost approx 50th
Unfortunately, this stand no quick release plate. You always have to loosen the screw to remove the camera can. But one must not ask too much for the price. However, it is recommended to buy a quick release plate to.
