Even though I was a bit skeptical at the beginning because of the stability and the first stakes were quite shaky, but then it has convinced me on vacation. With a little practice, it can be quickly and reliably operate and it is serving. Of course it is not a full-fledged "serious" tripod compare, but in a flight where you have to pay attention to the weight, it is the best tripod that I can imagine. TIP: It is optimal to trigger the camera with a remote control, then you can reduce camera shake even more! For those who are undecided: YES, it is worth the money and I would buy it back to me!
