This stand should be designed for my Sony A58 with different lenses, so perfectly adequate from the weight carried forth. Functionality and processing of the stand to make a good impression. The weight, however, is already borderline for me because I want to attach it to a photo backpack. A minus point I have yet to report. The rubber feet on the tripod legs were badly secured and fell after only upon insertion of the same. Pay no attention to it, are quickly lost. So check the rubber Proppen to halt and possibly re-fix, stuck in my case. My Conclusion: For this price a quite useful and good tripod. Because of the loose rubber feet from me 4 stars instead. 5
