Looking for a new tripod I stumbled across a review about Cullmann tripods. We tested here with others the magnesite and magnesite 525 528, which had the two front seats occupied. Vibration behavior is both very good - the M525 slightly better than the M528. When acquiring the tripod to me, however, the load was more important (cameras with battery grip and professional lenses weigh just a bit more) to be at nominal 7kg. But I think after the first attempt, the actual likely another piece higher. The stand is very stable, nothing wobbles or are after. The adjustment of the tripod legs are more than adequate (4 levels) and the attached short column for macro photography comes into its own pocket. In addition, the working height in combination with the ball head magnesite 25 Nm is optimal. Those who do not is about 2 m tall, is thus excellently cope. Conclusion for me - a recommended purchase!
