This is a fantastic tripod. It is fully featured, stable, lightweight, and well built. The tripod has features that you would only typically find on tripods that cost twice as much. The locking collars all lock tightly with no slippage. The heads features all function well, the tension dial functions very well for my set up. Everything locks tight and hold steady.

The tripod is sturdy for light duty use. The ball head is not secure enough for a Nikon D200 with 105 mm macro lens. One leg unscrews for monopod use but is too short even with the ball head for a 6 foot tall person to comfortably use. A far sturdier ball head is needed for telephoto use.

Tripod is sturdy. I have 8.5 lb binoculars and it holds it in place without wobbling. I am used to a hand lever to move the camera mount. The mount is moved by moving the camera, but then if the friction is too tight I need to take my hands off the camera to adjust the friction knobs. I need to spend more time with it to get more comfortable. It definitely was an upgrade to my previous tripods and the cost wasn't prohibitive. The legs lock quite snuggly. My old tripods had "Flip Locks" that break.

So I've used this tripod a little in some rougher terrain just to get the best feel of it. Shooting landscape photography with it, I wanted something light to carry around but wanted it to be steady. I am not the biggest fan of the locking design for the legs but so far have not had any slippage with my camera attached. The bottom(thinnest) legs are extremely wobbly and would recommend weighting the tripod or not using them. The monopod is only about 4' tall so actually using it is almost impossible without resting on something like a step or rock in front of you. Lastly, the tightening mechanism for the ball head shifts the ball head when it's tightened so I always have to have the camera angled to the side a little so when it's tight it's level. Makes getting set up quickly pretty much impossible. Read full review

This tripod is excellent for a medium weight camera and lens. It is a little unstable with a large heavier telephoto len. However the manufacturer does make clams of heavy duty. It is a ideal tripod for everyday situations.

Сделан хорошо - легкий, удобный. Но есть некоторые недостатки - цанговые зажимы ножек и центральной штанги могут заклинивать даже при неполной фиксации, не достаточно жесткая конструкция - не фиксирует мелкие вибрации от срабатывания затвора фотоаппарата даже на самой низкой высоте (недостаточная жесткость фиксации центральной штанги), для преобразования в монопод требуется заворачивать дополнительный винт - он есть в комплекте, но лежит в общем отсеке чехла и постоянно выпадает - нужен отдельный кармашек для него и ключа. В целом штатив производит хорошее впечатление и удобен в эксплуатации. Подойдет для любительской фотосъемки, но для ответственных съемок лучше выбрать что-то другое имеющую более жесткую конструкцию.
