I worried the Pixi tripod for my Sony NEX-5N camera system. With attached standard zoom the grip is perfect and you can shift the camera to the push button and simultaneously moving the camera very easy. After releasing the button, it holds bombproof again. As a "stress test" I have a 55-210mm telephoto lens attached. Again, the tripod still holds wonderful and the ball head are not after. One would only be aware that one of the three legs is under the lens, in order to ensure stability. An image is uploaded to the customer for free! Material: The tripod can look very sophisticated and stable. The state is safe and is additionally supported by the three rubber feet.
