BIG TMC-1300 2-in-1 camera tripod Carbon incl. Ball head (Accessories)

Customer Review

Hab purchased this tripod incl. Ball head via flash range. My 8 year old aluminum tripod (even then been favorable) must be drawn back into retirement.

The tripod itself I find quite good / practical. With one hand you have the rotation lock (all 3 on times) solved the telescopic legs and can take them off. May be swinging the legs (3 levels) via a type snap, the one with your thumb. The first stage (that is, from the folded state to the normal level) can be adjusted directly, that is simply just pull the legs apart, there is then no closure in the way. Nice if you want to build quickly.
The snap of the legs (ie the for angling) is a little wobbly. It does not fall apart, but it feels not to wertig.
To set up the tripod on slippery / soft ground, you can extend the spikes. That's pretty quick and easy.

We come to the ball head. Ansich he does his job very well. Only the rotation is quite sluggish / lethargic with dissolved screw. If you have the ball head not tightened properly on the tripod, it can happen that, when turning the head to the link resolves to the tripod. So be careful.

The locking of the quick-release plate I can only describe as a joke. It slackens and rattles. The locking pin is to actually ensure that the plate can be pushed back and forth only a certain amount. It so happens that this pen is probably caught in a flat reduction, which is meant for the connecting screw to the camera. So there's not a double-slot for the stylus. This is already very cheap, therefore, I find.

Overall, I am reasonably happy with the combination, a purchase of a better quick-change system (or even the whole ball head) is but probable. The remaining shortcomings on the stand, I'll be fine or it may possibly improve themselves.
