I received that day a little less than 48 hours this very sturdy tripod (a little heavy for walking) ideal for studio and especially for tall people like me. It offers excellent handling thanks to its system of "trigger" and a very good stability. The carrying case is of good quality and seems sturdy enough to transport it. 5 stars fully justified in my opinion. Excellent value for money. Also note the quality of packaging and delivery speed. This material will serve me as a photographer auto entrepreneur. well cordialeùment
