Simple but convincing beginners Tripod

I found out through a known Canon-side on the Slik Sprint. I was looking for at that time a simple but nevertheless high-quality manufactured tripod now and long exposures and steady macro photography with my Canon EOS 50D DSLR incl. Heavy to carry Canon 24-70mm L. It was particularly important to me that I can carry the tripod with no problems with me and very easy to operate without unnecessary to spend much money for ball heads and Manfrotto tripods.

The Slik Sprint has covered my needs perfectly. The lightweight construction, the equipment lets loose even on longer tours take in hand, and very easy to build by the quick-release system. This will also will optimally supported by the quick-release plate system.
Particularly impressed me the flexibility of the camera orientation. In addition to very useful spirit level (for optimum positioning of the camera), the camera can take in almost every imaginable positions by means of the intuitive adjusting lever and the panorama function. Even after several operations, everything still works wonderfully and perfectly smooth and not "Swallowed".

Who asked for this tripod that you can work in all weathers so, seems to have left the logic at home. A house is not built of paper ;-)
My DSLR incl. Heavy lens keeps the tripod from perfect.

A little cute delicacy of the tripod is the supplied bag.
