I ordered this tripod conscious of not having a daily need, saying that for the price I did not take great risque.Et although I filled it is convenient because light and easy to use (no need for manual ) and finishing convenable.Je used with an SLR + lens 1,2kg around easily. This product is aimed at all amateur photographers who do not want to spend $ 200 in a tripod which they will not be used often. I give 5 stars if the clamping rings were made of metal ... In short an unbeatable value for money ...
