After years I pottered with tripods from the hobby, finally had to be a more practical solution. In retrospect, I am annoyed to be not previously encountered Manfrotto, because the money that you throw over time for the low-rattle-frames out of the window, you could also save yourself. The tripod is made really solid and yet really compact. Some like the resulting weight might seem too much, but a little more weight means just more stability. And you really drags it not dead. I was always looking for a tripod that the recording from an elevated position allowed. Without knowing the exact number, but by a solid center bar to safely reach the 1,85m. Buyer should only consider what head is chosen. A ball head can have its drawbacks, because individual travel ranges can not be locked, but it's probably all a matter of habit. I can only recommend to buy: The price-performance ratio is unbeatable.
