It can also pull out to a comfortable working height for a 185cm tall man, contrary to the product description. In the product specification of the extract of the center bar is probably not included in the calculation.
Getting used to the screw caps are to solve all legs. Here I was quick release of Manfrotto used which are significantly easier to use. However, these are precisely the parts which ultimately broke the stand and made unusable.
I have to complain about the central rod, which is reversible pushed to make shots from deep positions. Here had neatly WD40 and force to be expended to insert this. Are the first ridges away, it misses now but pretty good.
The quick release plate is not really fast. To insert the camera must be inserted waagerechet and then tightened with a screw. To remove an additional small locking pin can be solved. Although this keeps all bombproof and, lends an absolute certainty that the camera will not fall in the 90 ° angle --- Manfrotto this creates but also a really quick snap. (Of course costs the x times ...)
The adjustment of the ball head is very beautiful precision and rigidity is well adjusted. Especially the extra thread for panoramic shots like that. The review, which says that this is easy to continue to rotate when tightening is correct. However, this does not bother me.
Folding it can be also nice compact by the legs up (ie upside down) are worked, then the ball head between the legs disappears.
All in all a really great tripod for this price. Compared to other (eg from Calumet) can be loosely measured in the 150-200 class! I would like just a faster shutter speed.
