purchased this tripod to use primarily with a monocular telescope, although it is also versatile for photography. It can be used as a tripod at different heights and positions, as well as with a single leg (monopod) for easy support and gain stability when taking photos, or used as a selfie stick. The monopod is obtained by releasing one of the legs and removing the central post. The two are connected to each other by a very simple mechanism and are height adjustable. The tripod is easy to assemble and easy to use. It has a small insert with a universal thread for mounting the scope or any type of camera. The legs are stretched and attached with a quick release buckle. What I liked the most is that it is sturdy, stable and large. It also includes a small hook in the middle to put weight on, increasing stability, especially on windy days. On the other hand, highlight the details of the legs, which adapt to any terrain by simply screwing the worn rubber, allowing the metal spikes to come out and adapt to uneven terrain of dirt or rock. Also note that it is easy to transport because it measures approximately 50 cm when folded and includes a carrying bag.
