Light, stable and low - is that possible?

I invested a lot of photography in recent times. A hobby, with whom I spend more and more time. To my new camera it should then be a reasonable stand. Actually saying anything I had heard in a photography course to tripods and have read in a photo book about it, against this tripod. It was said that you (light, stable, low) only actually ever ever had to choose two of three features that should have a tripod and that would a good tripod, which is not made of expensive carbon, then not weigh less than 2 kg.

The Hahnel weighs 1.6 kilos and is offered at a moderate price. Easy and cheap so it is, but does that mean I have to do without stability? One question that I can clearly answered in the negative so far. So far, the tripod was already in several shots in use and has stable and reliable to me. It's when you get the hang of quickly assembled, the legs can be extended easily and without resistance, or note and by the just-set-up Schnellkupplungsplatte the camera is quickly and safely mounted on the tripod. The state is safe and I must not be afraid to have my camera.

The spirit level is a bit too small for my taste and could be more visible. The ball end allows the camera to move well in all the desired angle. The possibility of adding a weight to hang under the support rod, or alternatively, to secure the quick release plate in this position, expand the possibilities that you have with this tripod.

Stay me so far only as not as positive impressions to mention the not so big fancy bubble level and the much too narrow bag that prevents rapid packing. Deduction at the points are not, however. 5 of 5 stars for a decent entry-level model.
