A precision-machined and stable mini tripod that allows the camera are to come to the floor - ideal for taking pictures of mushrooms and demersal insects. The three feet can be locked in three stages, which allows good functionality on flat surfaces. The problem arises when you want to photograph in nature on uneven ground, you have probably set the feet differently. This works if you have a very light camera. For slightly heavier model - eg my Olympus OM-D E 1 + lens with about 1 kg, the feet do not hold. In addition, then, the little simple thumbscrews on the inner bottom surface and can be difficult to access and not enough tighten. To align the camera exactly then recommends probably the purchase of a ball head. But then the camera angle increases again and the purpose of the ground-level Staiv is missed. Too bad, otherwise gefiehl my stand very well because it is stable, light and handy, and would have saved a heavy big tripod.
