Many underestimate stands with more than 2 kg and less than 3 kg. Reason: for short trips like the weight of his matter, at long hike at the latest after the first stressful, and time-consuming tour an exclusion criterion. (I say this as quite sporty type). Furthermore, you should consider whether you want to use it for air travel as hand luggage. In order to stand height! I am 184cm and thus the tripod 28 cm small! But addition of the ball head, the camera itself and fortunately conducive circumstance that does not represent the eyes the highest point of the body! In my opinion you should definitely make sure that the tripod is not meaningless high -> this is reflected in bulk and weight again!
per:
- I decided to really long search, as well as intensive research and test for this tripod
- With the small packing size of 43cm and just under 1.7 kg, the tripod can be super transport and transport as hand luggage on the plane
- Visually very high
- Solid construction
- Class offers a perfect fit of the ball head
- Quick adjustment in terms of height
- Use as a monopod
- Lots of accessories: sturdy tripod bag, tool bag weight
negative:
- To tilt the center column by 180 ° have to Once these two parts (untwist), turn around and screw back together.
- Even when using the monopod you have only two parts, the center column, put back together, remove one leg from the tripod and screw it to the center column. Since there are quite tripods which solve the more meaningful.
Summary: After really a long search I found myself for the optimum price / performance and processing! Who then wants to and when to use the monopod times and no huge focus puts it, thus is as happy!
