I have this stand already more than 15 years, can not comment on the actual quality but just say something to handle. My purpose is photography and not the movies and had me at the time, as image stabilizers were not yet available bought for my analogue SLR to simply can verwacklungsfreier Fotogrfieren. On a Hurtigruten voyage 2011, I then learned it again appreciate. In particular, if one evening or at night wanted to take pictures and a flash out of the question, which was a big help. Through which one fixed, the camera with the tripod to the body pressures, in conjunction with a wall in the back, a legally secure recording was possible here even in strong winds. Since I work here static and can carry as the video does not take place sometimes not so optimal support points are used, in which then the neck is perhaps not optimal, which can then be corrected usually later.
The clamp also holds a 18-200 Canon.
- Due to the small size, you can take very easily - It can be sometimes presses against a wall and hold - Rest in a church time on the bench - If no contact surface to Ask was there, I've already used as a "monopod" - It can sometimes be at the camera off
It is simply a handy and well-rounded. This one can have it always with you, it makes from time to time images that would otherwise have been impossible.
If I'm aware of studio session, will, in which I need a tripod I take with great Staiv, but that little is immmer in the camera bag.
