Not quite as smoothly

History Substitution on 13.12.2012-
I have the tripod now deducted two stars (from 3 to 1), because the inner workings dissolves slowly. The lateral locking screw shreds the plastic when panning, if you screwed this not quite loose. (See Photo).
Here I had to remedy this situation and incorporate a metal ring so that my stand is retained longer. In addition, I have the tripod further processed so that it can be moved "Liquid", now I can finally almost Ruckelfrei swing up and down.

In addition, I still noticed when rotating the crank to move the camera up or down, shaking the threaded rod, the camera thus -and very strong. It's all made of plastic, except for the Extendable Stellfußrohre. The plastic parts are made of thin hard plastic, which breaks down quickly, so be careful.

________________________________

The stand is good but is not described as smooth as on the two photos, if we set up a video camera and want to swing from top to bottom, there will be slight twitching because the joint but very stuck and can not be completely solved. Especially when one sets for pivoting, there is an ordinary jerk.

I would have liked the tripod returned because the seller but sits outside Germany, the value of less than 40 EURO is, the shipment exceeds (as bulky goods) value of the goods.
