The delivery was fast (1-2 days). To Tripod: The tripod is very well made and looks to be very high. When folded, it is so compact that you can take it anywhere hence. Between tripod stand (3 legs) and the ball joint, the intermediate rod can be taken out, which I think is useful in some situations. I am very pleased with the product, it serves the purpose, looks good and has a very good price / performance ratio.
