The Slik Sprint PRO II GM does not need to stay at home, because it weighs the price contained in the tripod head less than 1 kg. It can be extended to 1.65 m, so to 1.85 cm tall people can use it to take pictures without bending. When packing size (47 cm and 42 cm with inverted center column), I would still like to see some cm less.
Of course, such extremely lightweight tripod is susceptible to wind - but who photographed often in strong winds? The pleasant low price is of course possible only because some smaller parts of (ordinary) plastic. However legs and the tripod star is made of metal.
The included in the price Ball Head is also made of metal, but quite small and simple, and therefore in my opinion not suitable for cameras with lens weigh more than 1.8 kg. Easier system cameras or Speigelreflex with APSC sensor and not to 'thick' Ojektiven he should be able to wear.
The head has no support for panoramic pictures, neither a pivotal function in a plane nor a small spirit level. Here is of course out fine, who has a camera with switchable level - or who does not photograph panoramas ...
All in all, excellent value for money for those who have a not too heavy camera and tripod not need in tough continuous operation.
