Lightweight tripod, perfect for travel
I needed a lightweight tripod due to weight restrictions on the small planes we were on while traveling north of the Arctic Circle. This tripod fit the bill.
Pros:
-lightweight
-compact when folded
-very good ball head at this price point
-easy to adjust with heavy gloves at -25°F
-good value for the price
Cons:
-not the most stable tripod, but in all fairness I only had issues when my full-sized DSLR with 500mm lens was mounted. The stability issues were easily remedied by hanging my gear bag from the included hook at the bottom of the vertical bar, thus giving the setup a lower center of gravity.
I recommend this tripod for travel. It was an indispensable piece of equipment for photographing the Northern Lights and for nighttime infrared wildlife shots.
