So glad I've upgraded my tripod, have been using a cheap one for a while and it's about time I upgraded, it comes with so much extra features that get me them perfect shots.The size of this tripod can go down to an ideal carry-along size that I can take up mountains with me with ease, the ball head on the top is great because it's 360 so I can get them needy shots that I need. For such a small camera it's got so many features, I still haven't figured out quite a bit that are already on the tripod but that'll come over time the more I use it, the metal flip lock is really ideal when you need to lock it lower/higher.Incase you're wondering, this tripod is fantastic in bad weather conditions, in the UK it's been awful weather in the mountains and I've took this with me and it's been great, none of the features have stopped working which is a big plus when looking for a tripod because some the slightest of freeze can either break it or make the adjustment slower than usual. The build quality is awesome and this tripod is going to last me a good while, I'm that impressed with it I'm already looking at others for my next upgrade.
