It's like to see on the small dimensions, which is excellently suitable for travel or macro photography! It fits easily into a backpack.
By leveling I could dispense with a ball head. However, one should be aware that the portrait format without a tripod mount or L-angles can not be achieved.
The leveling can be locked by the lever perfectly, so that even a camera with battery grip and 70-200 2.8 VR Steel Nikon are kept perfectly and securely. The stand is very safe and extremely low vibration! (Even with extended legs) This is due to the ideal characteristics of wood used, which is also recommended for harsher conditions.
The build quality is excellent!
My expectations were exceeded, so I will replace my previous Carbon tripod against another of Berlebach Wooden.
