I'm used to the macro (flowers, mushrooms, insects), for pictures of animals and statues 70-300 TV (digital) photographs without flash indoors (Static expo, photos 1 / 15). That's great. No shadow of a blur. Another thing, I pose the / stuck in my belt by setting the story at the right height can use it quickly is perfect. It is perfectly stable. The only thing is that it is a bit short for "big". With my 1.65m it's going, but towards the peaks ... For the price it's a bargain, remains to be seen how long.
