The ideal travel tripod for the perfect travel camera! Weight, feel, settings are simply outstanding for this lightweight carbon fiber. That was everything already described herein. What no one has written: The Quick Release Plate TY-C10 (included here) is so nice and small, but still firm and stable, so that the battery door / SD card slot at the Lumix FZ 1000 despite mounted quick release plate can be completely open. This is otherwise far as I know, no other quick release plate. Those who have written about the lack of stability in windy conditions should be possibly even see the hook and wonder why the well is there, except in order to attach the tripod when folded on the belt, you can because when set up weight off . hanging Thus, the stand is then very stable.
