After careful and lengthy search I found this tripod that suits my imagination and my needs. IEs should be a monopod with stand base, which versatile, well made, easy, and inexpensive. All this met this tripod to 100%. It is made of carbon and is wirkich very light, very stable (robust) and high quality processed. What I really like, among other things, that you can use the foot as a table stand and that it is stable alone when the camera is mounted and short APPOINTMENT the pillar, as you can lock the column on the foot. Ebebso helpful for normal use the ball head between the foot and column, and all at the unbeatable price. Highly recommended.
