I was really surprised who light it was and has great stability. It ha great height for night photography as it opens to 180cm. So I haven't had to try and bend down and focus at the same time. don't like using the rear screen. As it doesn't move, and you still end up looking through the lens. It look my 5D and a 150x600 lens with no play in it. I also has a hook built in to add more stability

Very impressed with what this Tripod showed to be. Varga Universal Mounting Plate, So it works directly with a Smallrig Cage if that one is varga mount integrated. Tilt, 90° option, can sit very low too, its exceptional for the price you pay. I would 100% recommend this.

The quick version - this tripod is amazing, get it home and look no further.

The long version - decided to purchase this as an upgrade to an older, lighter and less sturdier tripod that served me well for quite some time, but was rather wobbly in windy weather. The tripod came packaged nicely, so I expect no issues whatsoever with transit.

It comes with a nice carrying case that also features a shoulder strap if you're into this sort of stuff. Setting it up is quite easy and natural if you're into photography, but in case you feel unsure about something - it also features a user guide, which is fairly descriptive.

Once extended, the notable features can be easily spotted - nice build quality, smooth rotational head, padded grip on the side for carrying (no more cold hands..), side-extensible arm for some top-down shots (though expect to have to cut on the tripod itself in post as arm is not too long anyway), quite sturdy, fast lock-unlock of legs, leveler on the head..

Overall, I believe the tripod is well worth the money and looking at the build quality I expect it to last for quite some time. 5/5, would totally recommend.

It's what I want. The wheels move very smoothly. The body is very strong.

Excellent quality...added carry bag is very useful as well.

Design is easy to use and VERY flexible for all those awkward shots!

I don't know what I expected with this really, but having now used it for a while I thought I'd write a review.

First off, it is a reasonable height, folds to a very compact size, is lightweight and fairly sturdy with my Panasonic G9 and even the long 100-300 zoom lens fully extended. It does feel a little rough around the edges in some parts if you compare it to a £300 product, but how can you complain at this price. The Ball-head is good, not brilliant but it does the job. It's fully arca-swiss compatible and takes my Peak Design capture plates perfectly. And of course you can replace the head if you like.

It comes in a neat bag with the head covered by a velvet bag. One minus point - there is no pocket in the bag to hold the allen key, tripod mount, double connector and small extension tube which are supplied. That means they can be easily lost. I keep them in the velvet bag and leave parts at home unless I think I'll be using them. The monopod option is great and works well but you will need some of the parts in the bag so again - a pocket would have made it perfect. Then again, you can buy tripod bags separately

This tripod has so many features and functions, and whilst it is a little clumsy and fiddly in how it does them - it does do them! Again, at the price you can't complain. You can invert the central column for working close to the ground, or swing it perpendicular to the ground for top down product shots. The legs are individually adjustable so even on uneven ground you can get it level. When you clamp the camera into a certain position there is a little movement so you do have to be careful and adjust a couple of times to get the perfect framing - this is a sign of the cheaper product but again it is minor.

I also wanted a travel tripod but to be honest I'm struggling to find one which packs more compactly than this (39cm) or is significantly lighter (1.6Kg - 1638 grams to be precise) even when looking at carbon fibre

Overall, I'd happily stand this up against products twice the price, or even more. A slightly better bag and slightly better ballhead would make this the product of the year for sure.

Amazing product

Good value for the money.

This is a very nicely engineered tripod, despite an issue with the locking nut and insert, which customer service was very efficient at sorting out. Bring as pleased as I was I bought a further 2. Top marks all round.

This item arrived safe and well packaged.
I have used several tripods in the past. But sometimes you seen an amazing feature on a product and just can't resist buying another one! The additional arm attached to the top of this tripod makes this one unique to my others. This allows the mounting of the camera in a whole new load of ways!! This will really assist my macro photography especially. I am able to mount my camera extended right out from the tripod, at very low and usually awkward positions!
The tripod stand is lightweight but very sturdy, especially if you hang your bag in the middle! This tripod also raises to a very tall height! It really does have every angle sorted!!
I highly recommend this product.
