Especially handy I find the shell of the upper part of the tripod so that is a tackling even at extremely low temperatures possible without hands freeze equal and in summer also prevented from slipping in wet hands.
The terminals are very very stable and there is even an Allen wrench, with which I can adjust the screws of the terminals if they are loose. Now that is service, because this is so now landed right in the camera bag and I have him always.
The hand strap is convenient, I'm going to possibly have a longer ribbon for hanging dranmachen, since I do not always have a backpack with him.
Since the stand has up to 12.5 kg capacity, also a use with a DSLR and a telephoto zoom was not an issue. I have to keep quite without a tripod because the camera steady problems.
The foot is stable and can be set up well on the ground.
In principle I find the idea good that you can unscrew the foot on the ground and by extension of the 3 small legs can screw the feet back, very good, but I am still cautious and skeptical about whether it then also holds the 12.5 kg , A smaller DSLR with a 24-70 mm lens has it held on level ground, further tests with "catch option" pending.
For the price you get a valent monopod that this after registering even a 10 - year - has guaranteed.
