Sturdy, stable, super-adjustable, such good value

Good value for a well spec'd tripod

Great tripod. It does all the normal things a tripod can do such as 2-way tilt, pan, and swivel.

This travel tripod looks excellent, next week I have a few trips planned and I will use it for the first time, but I couldn't resist to test its resistance, to see if it would hold better than my old tripod, and yes, this one is more robust, in fact, it looks more robust from the moment you take it out of the case.

It looks portable, it measures 42 cms approximately when folded and it doesn't weigh too much, a kilo and a half more or less, which for travelling is a good balance for those of us who are looking for a good robustness/weight ratio.

On the other hand, the head is comfortable, it releases easily and has a level that always helps to try to have the tripod perfectly aligned to the ground.

The system of unfolding of the legs is with clip, not screw, this is a matter of taste, but this one is quite comfortable, my previous tripod was screw and this new one seems to me faster to open and close it. In addition, to open and close the tripod it has a tab that jumps automatically and locks in the position in which we want to leave it, which is also very comfortable (this last thing I mention can be seen in the video attached here).

Finally, the bag it comes in looks great, it seems very resistant and has a strap to carry it hanging and two handles in case we want to carry the bag in our hand.

I think it's a good option for me, so I recommend it.

I bought this tripod to replace my top-quality Manfrotto, which has been a trusty companion for over 20 years of professional photography.

I needed a smaller, but still solid tripod to fit in the back box of my Honda 50, along with a large medium format camera, for local photo-trips. I measured the back box interior and noted the dimensions information that was given with the tripod, and it fits perfectly (see photo).

I was a bit dubious about the ball head holding my very heavy camera, so I replaced it with the heavy-duty pan and tilt head from the Manfrotto and it works perfectly. I've put the ball head from this one on the Manfrotto to hold a DSLR that I use for digitizing negs.

No, it's not as sold and robust as the Manfrotto (which cost 3 times as much), and that's to be expected. But it looks like it will do the job, and saves me from putting a really heavy tripod on my back when I go out on the bike!

I've been using a cheapy for a while and decided to get something a little more professional. To get something more professional, but not break the bank, a few reviews recommended this tripod. I was happy with what I got. It folds up smaller than my cheapy. The foam grip is nice for carrying it around out of the bag. I took it to the beach in a wind storm. I got sand in it and it was not easy to work out. Maybe not the best of uses for it? The thumb mechanism for the ball mount is okay, but it works backwards to what my mind would expect and still moves a bit when locking into place. It is compact enough, yet extends quite tall. I am 6' tall and this will work for anything I need at my height except the most extreme of situations where I would be outside the norm. I suppose I could spend extra on a better one, but the point was to not spend a ton. So I am okay with it and I think I would have spend a lot more for little improvement or had to get something significantly less by saving less.

bought someone the 62 inch version of this tripod for their birthday and immediately wanted one. Not wanting to have the same one, I bought for myself this 68 inch and love it! It’s sturdy, versatile, and can be packed up in its small carrying bag. I’ll definitely get another one just because I like it so much

Overall - happy, love how stirdy it is is, ball head is a blast, flexibility is amazing, love the legs and how they stretch for macro - and, hopefully, will test upside down part for astro! don't know what to do with monopod yet, I don't norally use them, perhaps a cool walking stick

Excellent quality

Actually this is not as lightweight as some have complained about. It's pretty average weight and good for stable photography.
