Have decided after much deliberation and several attempts, the system flashes with umbrella or softbox on relatively light but sturdy camera tripods build, but to buy tripods. I have to say that simply have a higher Standfestigleit. Especially this is also quite high and really handled properly. Other tripods I know now but not really. But the enclosed Alert is important. If someone ignorant Wizard starts, CAUTION. When releasing the locking the rods pass through the damper shot out. So the warning, do not hold your face over the tripod is meant seriously! All in all, from me a recommendation!
