Moldy and festgegammelt - but great service

Who buys cheap, buys twice. I opened the box and it was located the tripod bag with foxing; Matched by a perceptible odor of mildew. Well, the stand was in a separate plastic bag in his pocket and build the lower clamp not resolved; only the upper extract could be moved. When trying to solve the set screw of the lower clamp, I broke the cast part.

Knack - off! Scrap factory.

Resending costs - and certainly I find somewhere a wing nut, with which I can replace the broken knob, but is replacing first WD 40 festgegammelte the screw. I am annoyed about myself.

So a tripod is typically a purchase for long-term use. The industry standard (Manfrotto) costs around 30.- Euro more and this additional charge would certainly forgotten in two or three years. This - really miserable - tripod will remember in years to come about how stupid it was to buy low.

There are good products from Walimex (eg. The hot shoe and the shields / reflectors), but this stand is cheap in the negative sense.

I turned for the problem directly Walimex (Photo Walser import export); I really wanted to buy such a gag, because that would probably be cheaper than all stand back through the area and to send her (and I would not stand in the transport and processing time)

Very friendly service, and after I emailed the Amazon account to the company, I had 48 hours later, two such Knebeklschrauben in the mailbox. The stand will not improve, but the service is excellent. I have therefore the evaluation of 1 point raised to 3 stars.
