The shoulder strap for the tripod is really very helpful. Although the tripod slipping under because the tripod head is too heavy, you can carry the tripod good and it's not in the way when it umhängt sent. Mounting and maintenance are great, the broad shoulder saver is pleasant and makes wearing very tolerable. Everything else which is a disadvantage, depends on the weight of the stand as a whole. Who charges there may be no surprise.
