the unit is very sturdy,quick to set up and the mounting gives a very stable working platform for both cameras and a small telescope.Well worth the money.

This is a great tripod. It extends quite high for a tripod that compacts so small. I am impressed. The build feels quite sturdy. The head rotates very smoothly which is great for recording video or tracking moving objects. The quick release plate is the standard mount that all cameras use, and works perfectly on my Nikon d7200 camera. The little handle on the bottom of the plate is very useful - no more need to get a coin to tighten/loosen the plate. It comes with a hook on the bottom to hang a weight to provide extra stability for long exposure shots or during windy situations. It is very convenient and useful.The ONLY thing that I wish could be changed about this tripod is a handle to use to pan the camera. Everything else is flawless. I would recommend this tripod to anyone who is looking for one.I will update this review after I get to use it for an extended period of time, and add photos. So far, for the first two weeks of owning it, it has been great.

Arrived very quickly. I am disabled and needed a heavier tripod for balance. Wonderful tripod, better than expected. The extra height is a bonus for tall members of the family.

Excellent quality, pro-level. I have been using it for about 1 month with no problems.

I was surprised how much I loved the tripod. This one is my first and it doesn't feel Chinese at all. Top notch hinges, spinners and twiggles.

well made piece of equipment,ideal addition to my kit.

I have just returned from a Scottish island where I was filming along with still photography of the landscapes, this tripod was absolutely brilliant, it's light construction was such a huge benefit on this trip, easy to use, very sturdy. Definitely recommend.

Really solid feeling, head moves smoothly, parts look replaceable or at least repairable.

Can't say much as it was bought for my son but when I gave it to him he was very pleased with the tripod

Im relatively new to photography and related equipment, I started off with some very cheap gear, and have slowly been upgrading as I go along, this has been my first tripod purchase.I looked at several pre owned models, but each had various things that put me off, I then found this, at a great price, and decided to take the plunge, and can only say i am SO glad I did!This arrived quickly and safely in a good solid box, inside is a good quality canvas zippered bag, and the tripod itself, the canvas bag has a solid yet comfortable well stitched Velcro handle, and fully adjustable padded shoulder strap, so can be strapped together for ease of transportation.The tripod itself is very small when fully collapsed, and very light weight.The tripod itself oozes quality compared the half a dozen or so others that i looked at prior to getting this, it is extremely easy to set to required height,and easy to attach and detach my camera from its mounting point.Ive found the tripod to be very easy to set up on un level grounds, and easy to set to a good flat position on hills.I like the fact the bag feels so well constructed along with the tripod, they both feel like really well made, well thought out items, the legs are adjustable between any height for all three sections of each leg, and use simple fold in/out clips to set in place, no head scratching here at all, the best items are nearly always the most simple im learning in this area!This will get a lot of use, and has made my day, a really good quality bit of kit im proud to have in my slowly building collection!if your thinking of buying this, or have it in your wish list, don't hesitate!
