I use this tripod with an iOptron Skyguider Pro and DSLR for astrophotography. It works great for that purpose as long as I keep a low center of gravity during long exposures. When either the center column or legs are fully extended with that much weight, it does become more prone to movement but that is to be expected. I love how portable and easy to set up it is. It's great quality for the cost.

The ball on top can hold a large amount of weight including my large phased array antenna. My old tripod would droop after a while of holding the weight. This one also allows for the legs to extend really far apart to prevent large objects from being blown over.

I replaced my first starter tripod with this one and I am very glad I did. I have used it for astrophotography, long exposure at waterfalls, and other landscape photography. I carried it hiking at Glacier national Park as well as a couple other state parks near me. It is not the lightest tripod, but it's not bad. I had never used a ball head before and am still getting the hang of that, but it is certainly very versatile. It has done just fine on wet rocks and uneven surfaces in the various places I've used it including a running creek. I've not used the monopod function and have never had to weight it but it's an option with this tripod. Overall I have been very satisfied with this tripod.

It work perfect if you will have a steady camera. But it didn't work for me because a need to constantly adjust the angle view. But overall is a great piece of wear for outdoor pictures.

This thing is a beast! Very rugged with options I would only expect in a muchore expensive model. Very pleased?

This is a very nice little tripod. We were looking for a light weight , foldable tripod for our cameras. This tripod height can be adjusted in three ways. You can also keep it firm in different positions. It comes with a nice little carrier bag. We really liked the size of it. You can easily put this in a carry on luggage.

I have been using it with the original 5D for a few days. The tripod goes a lot higher than expected. There is a spirit meter. The ball is metal. The tripod mount is compact and feels strong. I couldn't test it in wind though.

This tripod is exactly what I needed for my Sony A7II. It is capable of holding up the weight of my camera and my bulky lenses. I especially like the ability to adjust the height with ease. I am no professional photographer but this meets all my needs as I can bring it with me on hiking trips since it's very light and fits in a small pouch that it comes with.

Hi, I have been testing this for the last 3 days. The tripod feels sturdy even with large lenses on it. Being able to convert to a monopod is handy as you don’t have to carry both but the process does take a minute. At this price point, I was unsure of the quality of the tripod, but I can say that the concept is an amazing tripod for photography. It is rock solid even in winds. Although weight may seem like an initial con, the fact is that this tripod is light enough to carry with me yet heavy enough to sustain moderate to somewhat heavy winds for long exposures.If you are looking for a tripod for your camera that is of outstanding quality without breaking the bank, I highly recommend this tripod.Overall great tripod
