The processing of the stand is expected to well, otherwise I did not expect from Cullmann. Both the leg itself, as well as the screw kits and locks, are all stable and make a very solid impression. Top of the stand there is a shell, with foam, thus the tripod can handle well even in cold temperatures. In order to use the tripod perfectly, I would recommend buying a ball head. So you are more flexible and can use the tripod even better.
Devices can be on top of the tripod plate easily and quickly - and unscrew. Once installed keep the equipment safe and stable. From the Einbeinstaiv quickly a tripod can be done with a few simple steps. For this you have below unscrew only the foot that run three legs of the tripod and screw the feet back on. As tripod me is the 580T is not stable enough, especially with a camcorder on top give the legs slightly and the stand is quick slant.
The Cullman magnesite 580T is great processed and made his job as a monopod really good. As a tripod, however, it presents a number of weaknesses. I give the tripod therefore 3.5 stars and round on this 4.
