It's not a bad camera, but probably not ideal for what I was hoping to use it for - macro photography.

I wanted something I could use for macro photography and this does just that, and its also great for everything else! I've even used the monopod as a walking stick on a hike, I call that value for money!

Excellent choice for beginners, it’s very sturdy and versatile, it’s allowed me to get into macro photography which I would not have otherwise had the option to do with a regular tripod. Build quality is so good that I often forget how little I paid for this!

This is awesome for my macro photography and is very versatile

I use it mainly for Macro photography, but it's a very good tripod all over. I like particularly the transversal column and the fact that you can lower the camera to the ground level, neither of these options being available in too many other tripods. Price is also reasonable considering the great functionality. Very happy with this purchase even though it took a few weeks to arrive.

I bought a Z mount platform specifically for the S line lenses, and yet again, this doesn't disappoint. I bought this because I found I've been trying to do more "macro" style photography with my regular zoom lenses, which doesn't really work very well. As such, this is my first macro lens. Well, this delivers.My one and only complaint isn't really about the lens itself, it's more about Nikon's website/documentation about the lens. Yes, it technically has a max aperture of f2.8, but that's only achievable when focusing further than about 1.7 meters away. If you get closer than that (which you need to for macro photography), it starts incrementally stopping down. At closest focus, it's maximum aperture is f4.5. After I thought about it for a bit, I realized that's just how it has to be due to how the aperture ratio works, so it makes sense and I'm not upset by it. F2.8 at closest focus would be absolutely ginormous and it would make the lens huge. I just wish the documentation said something about that. Maybe it does and I missed it, but in case it doesn't or in case you missed it too, now you know. (I also have to assume most other macro lenses do something similar, in the same way a lot of zoom lenses have variable max apertures, but I don't have the experience with macro lenses to know.)

I bought it for macro photography... then we went into lockdown, so haven't been able to really use it in the field yet. But at home it's very good for most things I do. The only downside - getting the central column to move up or down or invert it is a very fiddly process as it's not really well designed - the wedged plastic inset often gets stuck and is hard to handle. Definitely needs a redesign there.

I just needed a filter to protect my len and it is.
