I bought this tripod to take more stable and smooth photos and videos! At first there was some skepticism because of the relatively low price! She's gone! The tripod has three extendable, variable height adjustable aluminum legs. The articulated rubber foot buffers are also suitable for rooms with smooth floors. The installation angle is wide enough to prevent it from falling over once a digital camera or smartphone is mounted on the tripod! The removable center rod for use as a monopod is very clever, as it is installed in the inner beam without any problems and the tripod and monopod can be used at the same time! The camera recording base is installed in a holder on the monopod, so that both tripod variants can be used quickly! Or you can purchase a second shooting base (if available) and have both tripods available for use with a digital camera and smartphone at the same time! A mounting bracket is included so that the smartphone can be securely and firmly attached to the tripod or monopod. This was another point in my purchasing criteria! The tripod is well packed in an elongated carrying bag (approx. 50cm long, 15cm wide and 15cm deep) and can easily be carried on the back using a carrying strap (light weight)! This leaves both hands free and allows you to take pictures of the motifs you encounter without putting them down. The legs are extendable and can be fixed at any desired height using clamps, allowing the tripod to be set up with the camera on an inclined surface. The tripod is continuously extendable from approximately 50 to 176 cm. For the very conscientious people, a round spirit level has been installed so that the tripod with camera can be precisely aligned. I am satisfied!!!
