Top price and good compactness
The tripod has a good basis for me, it has clip fasteners. I don't use twist locks, I think these are more susceptible to dirt or sand in the thread.
It's a good size: it's not exactly compact, in the normal folded working position it's a bit large at 55 cm on small backpacks. But even without the center column extended, it reaches a working height of 1.38 m, which is great. The tripod head is OK, Arca Swiss plates fit on it.
For practical use: When there is no wind, I can work with Fuji DSLMs without any problems, I was even able to use my Nikon D7500 here. Whereby this represents the maximum size in terms of weight, for large full-frame cameras you need heavier tripods. When there was no wind, I was even able to use a Fuji with a small telephoto without the pictures being blurred. When there is little wind, I also use it to record videos.
The quality is very good for the price. Of course I can't compare the quality and durability with my heavy Manfrotto, but that cost almost 300 euros even with a large ball head. And especially on longer hikes, I don't feel like lugging around the heavy tripod. I am very satisfied with the tripod, I think the price/performance ratio is great.
