He obviously does not compare this product with great tripods carbon / titanium. Whatever! 1 - What is the first problem of a tripod: His weight. *** Most of the time, not buying expensive, it is heavy and stays home ... How stupid! *** This mini tripod is lightweight, so it remains in the backpack and is almost forgotten. 2 - The second problem with a tripod: the price *** As this accessory is not used in our life as a photographer, we buy the cheapest, but at the expense of real interest. *** This product is not excessive, the price / quality is beyond compare. 3 - The third issue of a tripod is: Its stability. *** As we buy a cheap tripod to do everything, once the legs are pulled, it horehound. So we carry significant weight for long unstable legs ... It's silly. Cullman *** This product does not rise very high, but it's enough to make panoramas, flowers, landscapes, monuments. And if it is too small, there is always a low wall, a bench, a chair in a church to ask it. 4 - The fourth problem is: Versatility. *** A great many heavy tripod does not shoot low enough flowers, snails on a stone. Tripods can do are quite expensive. *** This small Cullmann allows a very low position by turning the locking legs and by removing a portion of the central stem. 10 seconds are enough to be close to the ground. . Is it perfect? . 1 small flaw: * The head does not properly take into a box set + objective creating an important starting and looking down to 45 ° (for example). The head aches badly in this case. * I have this little problem very rarely and with the flexibility of the legs, the little worries may round. And then, a head, this may change in some time. . This versatile and lightweight tripod never leaves my backpack hike or stroll (even in town, he accompanied me). It is forgotten and yet he answers this whenever I need it.
