I've used several tripods in the past and this one is a tad bit heavier, but it is solid. I took it out for a windy day and the build is solid and I didn't have to worry about it falling over. I used a light mirrorless camera, but easily able to handle heavier DSLRs with bigger lenses. Comes in a nice carry bag with a shoulder strap. Very pleased.

This tripod is amazing! Worth every penny and it's not at all expensive. Do not cheap out and buy something less expensive as you will regret it when your expensive camera topples over the tripod. I use this with my Rebel T6i and it's sturdy as ever. Super easy to use, extending is as simple as releasing the latch and putting it back, level bubble is key, if you have large equipment you can add a weight to the bottom of the tripod for even more stability. I couldn't be happier with this purchase and it comes with a carrying case, lightweight, compact, and super functional. Enjoy!

The best thing I liked about this tripod is its weight. It is easy to carry with provided durable carrying bag. Easy to set up for shoot with lock and unlock clip. It comes with protection small bag for the head which is most important. Other features such as balance scale and movable head make this tripod best with reasonable price.It would be excellent if the base (tripod legs) comes with pointer so that it can be fixed in muddy area.

I own a huge Manfrotto carbon fiber tripod and am looking for something that's more portable and came across this beautiful thing. I was sold because of the good reviews, the subtle golden details, built in release plate, and ,last but not least, the price. Talking about price, this is three hundreds dollar cheaper than my carbon fiber tripod. Of course, I didn't expect this thing to work as good as the high-end tripod but this thing totally exceed my expectation. I end up using this tripod for everything I does these days, because it is FAST! The quick release plate makes it really easy to mount the my Sony A7II. The metal locking lever is simply a snap away from locking your tripod in place. Stability wise, it handles all my shooting very nicely. It stands well from uneven concrete to dirt-infused hiking trail. As you see in my picture, this thing folds up nicely and basically fit into any adult man size backpack. I totally love this tripod and would definitely buy again to gift my friend.

I was looking to upgrade my tripod for quite some time now and planned to order this one and use. I must admit I am happy with my decision. Below are the details:1. The snap locking mechanism in this tripod is really useful and you can adjust the height comfortably based on the available surface. Also, there are 3 different levels to lock the angle of the legs of this tripod (See attached photo). Just that these angle snappers are of okay quality but should work as long as used with care.2. Build quality is good and this one sturdy. Can be used in winds and has a hook below the central pipe to add some weight to keep the tripod steady.3. Height - The height of this tripod is really good, specially when compared with my old tripod which was a 3.5 ft portable one. This one is tall and can be adjusted at different levels yet is not very heavy to carry around.4. The panoramic ball head is very useful if you like to click timelapses or panorama shots.5. This tripod comes with a good quality bag and a separate cover for the head mount to avoid any scratches on the tripod legs when folded. There is also a tool to tighten the screws if any become loose.6. The color scheme is subtle and it’s a good-looking, portable product.Overall I’d say the build quality is not like that of the carbon fibre tripods but really good given the price it comes at and the accessories it comes with. I’ve used it for about a month now and will update the review if I find something new over time.

This thing is awesome--everything as it was described. Sturdy, and well-built--but I especially like the swivel head (like on my Gorilla Pod SLR); this allows you to get those odd angles. It even has a built-in balance. Adjusting the height is dead-simple--just loosen the center "nut," and manually pull. With my last tripod, you had to crank a handle. It's so lightweight and compact. At the same time, it doesn't draw attention to itself. I have it standing next to my TV stand now, and I only notice it if I make a conscious effort to search for it. My last tripod was conspicuous--likely because the legs were wider. I was weighing whether to buy another lens. Reason, however, suggested a better buy would be to get a sturdier, more useful tripod. I'm so glad I did--because my other one is literally on it's-wait for it-last legs. The head is not very sturdy, and I don't trust it with my Canon T4i--let alone with a 70-300 zoom or the telescope I sometimes use.I've only used it on one quick outing to go outside and shoot my car (just polished the wheels.) A lil' Photoshop at play. I look forward to using my camera a *LOT* more now. The "mojo's"...back! :)

Zelf ben ik nog steeds hobbyfotograaf

Maar ik kan wel zeggen dat ik meer dan tevreden ben met het statief.
Supergoed vakmanschap, elke controller beweegt volkomen soepel en ik heb een geweldig formaat statief.

Duidelijk aankoopadvies (prijs-prestatieverhouding is gewoon goed)

This tripod is a very good help as a photography student it help me stabilize my camera during my portrait session and it's good for stop motion photography.

Had some difficulty getting this thing set up at first, but if you practice using the knobs you should be ok. Sturdy, lightweight and overall pretty versatile.

I bought this as a secondary tripod because I wanted something lighter and easier to set up than my old Manfrotto tripod. This tripod is definitely lighter and I love that it comes with a quality carrying case as well. Another bonus is that this also comes with a ball head that is compatible with the Arca Swiss mounts which is great for run and gun shoots when you have to move your camera around. The locking mechanisms on the legs are self-explanatory and simple to adjust. I like that it has a hook at the center column for you to hang your camera bag or any weight there to hold the tripod down in windy conditions. The first shoot I took this on was an extremely windy sports shoots and all the other photographers' tripods were falling over from the wind but I was able to widen my base and it held up perfectly. Overall, I would recommend this tripod to beginners, especially those who are invested in the Arca Swiss system. By adding these plates to all my cameras, it makes my life so much easier when moving my camera around in shoots.
