The tower of strength

Originally I wanted to get a tripod from a lower price class, after all, it's about my first tripod, with which I wanted to play around a bit and have their first experience with my DSLR. However, there were at most, cheaper products many reviews who criticized particularly the sustainability or supporting parts.

So I picked a little deeper into their pockets and have decided for the 294er (with 3-way pan head). It is worth the money.

Positives:

+ Just about all parts of aluminum or other light metal
+ Amazing work height (with center column ausgefahrenrer about 2m!)
+ High level of stability
+ At the head: quick release plate also made of metal
+ D-shaped center column. A wobbling despite determining there is not here!
+ High load capacity of 5 kg (My Nikon D7000 + Tele and filter is held loosely in an inclined position)
+ Wasserwage and tilt pointer (the latter on all three axes)

Negatives:

- Sorry, no spikes on the feet

The missing spikes are unfortunately a minor complaint, but there are retrofit possibilities and for that money, you first have a different stand with the same quality and working height find. I am more than happy.
