Really like the size of this tripod. It works great as an alternative to my full size tripod when out in the field and requirements to get down low.
Love that it can get to near flat ground level

Short of buying into ultra professional equipment, which is a little like overkill, this unit does everything tripod related, and if you buy the complete version, accessories include a small spirit level, so no more wonky horizons or unwanted converging verticals. Might as well get the best shots you can to start with rather than missing around with un-square images in photo software after. Mostly aluminium except for some plastic release catches and rubber feet, so won't get loose and rickety too quickly, like those cheap generic badged tripods. Also comes in a cute carry bag, with adjustable straps. Couldn't fault any of it.

Only received this today so haven't been in the field with it yet but gave it a thorough examination indoors with my heavy pro type equipment.
Appearance is very good and quality seems high at this price point. The ball head has a very fluid smooth movement and panning is very nicely dampened. When all tightened up in position it seems very sturdy with no hint of a wobble.
Many adjustments to suit all shooting situations and light enough to carry up to my local mountains for some landscape shots ! A fraction of the price of some branded models but not far behind in quality at all.
So far so good !

You can probably get less functional, more robust tripods for the money. BUT it's a great compromise between quality and functionality. It's better made than you think, although it's a long term life, I can't say yet. This allows for an almost unique range of heights that I could only otherwise achieve with studio supports or booms. Enables you to take overhead video shots for fly as well as in the studio. For me, this will be primarily for studio use for flexible quick setups when I need a shot in a rush. But I used it outdoors and achieved angles with a remote that would have been difficult otherwise. I like. I would have paid more for a deluxe version with perhaps better locking leg positions and stronger springs and. But that's fine, not a toy or a gadget.

Bought this to fix on top of my table tripod. Adds an extra foot or so of height. Just what I wanted. Very pleased.

So many different positions that this tripod can reach to get the perfect capture, good for panoramas, astrophotography, landscapes and macro photography, super light and great for carrying on all your adventures
