Balance between lightness and stability at a very competitive price
Pleasantly surprised with the characteristics of this tripod, a great balance between lightness and robustness, without sacrificing versatility and at a tremendously competitive price.
This aluminum tripod, which weighs around one and a half kilos, nevertheless offers great stability. It is very comfortable to transport, both in the folded and unfolded position and the pack includes a bag made of thick and resistant material to carry the tripod.
The legs have 3 removable sections, all of which are quite thick, secured with the clip system. even with the tripod fully extended they offer great stability. The tweezers are very comfortable to open and close and allow the legs to be removed and picked up very quickly.
The opening angle of the legs has 4 adjustable positions from the lever on each leg:
1-In folded mode, the legs are upside down, open 180°.
2-In normal mode, from the folded mode we stretch the legs and they automatically lock in an opening range of approximately 0 to 30°.
3-With the mentioned tabs we can open the legs more, around 45° or 60°.
4- The tabs allow us to place the legs parallel to the ground, open at 90°.
Versatility is another of its strengths. The central bar is extendable and also mobile and reversible, to achieve shots at ground level. This center bar includes a hook to hang weight and increase stability. With the tripod fully extended, we can raise and extend the center bar, at the cost of sacrificing some stability, reaching a similar height to my vision standing up.
Another quirky feature is that one of its legs can be unscrewed and screwed onto the center pole to turn it into a monopod.
In short, I especially appreciate that it does not have the two problems that my old travel tripod from a famous tripod brand had: the camera is well supported and stable (load up to 10kg), and the final sections of the legs are not as thin as to cause lack of stability by bending.
It will certainly be my new travel tripod and also for daily interior photography, we will see how it holds up with continued use, but the feeling is very good.
