Stable stand with middle-bulk and practical lock function

The stand is to be settled in the upper half of the choices in this price range anyway. It is robust and has a good weight, which makes it stand stable even in light winds. The Schnellkuplungssystem is very handy when it comes to quick setup and takedown. This allows the camera stowed away quickly and the tripod has even a times a slightly smaller pack size. This, however, is not to be underestimated, in my backpack it does not fit in any case, but you can make sure to fix it on the side, just what is good for me, because thus quickly accessible.

Very pleasant are the two rubberized handles on two legs that can not be equal to freeze off in the winter the finger when touched. Unfortunately, the stand has no small spikes on the bottom ends, but only a rubber coating.

By three freestanding legs can serve well the tripod. The adjustment of the legs is a short exercise to perform quickly. My initial doubts about the lack of stability due to the nonexistent Zwischenverstrebung has not materialized.

The unpleasant smell, describe the other reviewers here, I can not confirm. For me what the package neatly packed without unpleasant odor.

Therefore full buy recommendation for anyone looking for an entry-level stand. Up to small SLR tripod provides a secure grip.
