Customer Review

In December 2012, I have (at the time, still camera Bridge since 2013 two DSLRs) bought this tripod for my camera. Important to me was an adjustment at eye level, a removable monopod and tripod head included.
I used the tripod predominantly outdoors for landscapes and city panoramas.

#### Equipment ####
As far as I can remember, the set contains only the tripod and tripod head. A tripod-pocket I have therefore bought additionally.

#### Processing ####
The tripod makes a very high-quality impression. No sharp edges, all brackets sit stable and can be pleasant open / close. The finish is high quality and protects well so far from the weather outdoors.

The weight is for me personally not too high, but there are lighter tripods in size, but which are likely to be more expensive.

The exchange mechanism for the camera is a bit strange, you have to open the bracket, push down the clip, open the strap on and then placing the camera in the correct direction. For me it's always a bit of fumbling, but maybe I put myself also just daft.
The release of the camera is fast and with only one hand (open bracket).

#### Features ####
# + # + # # Head
This set includes an entry-level tripod head, which can be adjusted in all three axes.
The tripod head is initially a bit confusing and the water balance can be, depending on how the camera is mounted, read not always easy. By confusing means that initially is not directly clear which twist grip allows that tilt / rotation, a matter of practice.

Inclinations can be adjusted with a spirit level, the rotation is a hub exists, which no longer is perfectly readable in low light conditions. Since I have such precise settings but so far only used to pointing the camera at Siemens star in order to compare lenses can, does not mind.

However, the fine adjustment of the inclinations and rotations is proving difficult. Quick, while watching the picture, aim the camera properly, which turns out to be rather tedious for me, but doable.

# + # + # # Tripod
The setting up of the stand is very fast, just open brackets, can fall out legs and close parentheses. The adjustment of the tripod on uneven terrain is more difficult, but is also feasible.
Once set up the tripod is stable even in windy conditions and the legs are quickly folded to switch the position.

The monopod is removable, but first needs to be removed at the bottom of the monopod the rubber cap, which could be better solved.

Overall, I would highly recommend this Tripod Set each entry. It is neat processed and easy to use. A star I pull from, as the tripod head makes it difficult to fine-tune, but that does not change my buy recommendation.
