The articulated head is very convenient for pictures against diving and once adjusted it does not move.
It is a tripod that I also use outdoors even on inclines remains stable. There is indeed small grips under each foot to increase the adhesion on the surface on which it is placed.
The possibility of using it as a support to increase the grip was struck me as necessary but actually I also use it regularly to avoid possible fuzzy outdoors or gain height when I am in a somewhat dense crowd.
Although we recognize the Manfrotto quality. A buy without hesitation
