The camera is supported by the ball head very well (even in extreme positions) and is stable. The color of it is from other meisst black or silver stands from, it is the first tripod that I use with a ball head and get along very well (so far only three-way tripods obsessed). I have permanently fixed the adapter plate to my DSLR. It is fairly flat and I do not mind when using without a tripod. The adjustment of the legs, both in length and in the angle funktioniuert without problems. The last Ausfahrung the legs seemed a bit weak because it is very thin. We'll see what the future holds. To date, not seen bending like my previously used tripods.
All in all, a satisfied purchase. One star deduction, since it would not have been bad if the center column would adjust (but was known before buying).
