It's ok, not great, not terrible. It is not a professional tripod, but I don't think it claims to be one.It holds a camera steady for long exposures, 30 seconds was the longest I did on it that was on 50mm and 24mm lens and it was fine. I don't think it would be sturdy enough to do long exposures on a telephoto lens.Good points are: ball head is nice and smooth and locks well, legs lock well. it's light and portable, sturdy enough for lightweight kit and it looks pretty.Bad points are: the center column is not great, it all fell apart on me, it is made secure by some cheap plastic shims which ensures it all tightens up, not great when they fall out. It is not very sturdy for heavier equipment, the lowest sections of the legs are very thin. No spirit level on the base/legs so it is difficult to level tripod, if you try to level up the legs the whole thing is so light that slightest knock and it is uneven again. It was frustrating to get it level on uneven rocky ground.It's fine and will do the job and if I was traveling and space and weight were at a premium I would recommend it, I don't travel that much though, so my tripod would live in the car and be used for shortish treks so l'm going back to a 055 series Manfrotto.

Good value and manages a Canon D70 + Sigma 150-600 lens easily.Not the cheapest or lightest but if you need to hold weighty long lenses this works very well .

Love this tripod. So much flexibility for setting up different ways depending on your location/ needs. Took me a sort while to get used to it after switching from my previous tripod but I wouldn't be without it now.

Perfect product, it packs away into away into small bag, and has the versatility of a tripod or solo stick. Great height in tripod mode. Sturdy and well made.

The rubber mat under camera makes it move around but overall good bit of kit

Excellent tripod. Provides good stability and is reasonably lightweight. Took a wee while before I realised that the ball head unscrews and can be fitted to the monopod.
