For hiking, it should not be cluttered and travel light. Cullmann Nanomax 200T perfectly meets this requirement. It can be stored in any bag-to-back, it is forgotten thanks to its lightness. Surprisingly stability (I installed a Nikon D50 equipped with its 18-200mm zoom continuously) and nothing moves. Small seemingly insignificant detail; The foam sleeve on the upper segment of the feet is nice when handling winter tripod in cold weather: no hands frozen by contact with the frozen metal! This tripod also lowers by a clever system of pivot feet, ideal for macro photography. One can think that is a little short (about 80 cm fully extended). But do we always need a tripod of 1.50m? If necessary riser, a stone can be found everywhere, a bench or chair to overcome this lack of height. As for the price, a good deal, especially taking into account that it is guaranteed for 10 years! As for Amazon, on-time delivery in a perfect state
