needed a tripod that can handle the extra weight of a telephoto lens.This is perfect for the task, it feels solid and well built.It is smooth as butter in movements ( all fluid)Perhaps the 4 part kegs could have been 3 part but in all a great tripod for the money.

It is practical because it allows you to carry a large camera equipped with a telephoto lens and which can be removed from the side without opening the backpack. There is plenty of space for other purposes and in the lids for cards and batteries. The rain cover is in a zippered compartment at the bottom that is not well placed. He has another “secret” pocket that is difficult to access to carry money, cards or something similar. The separations are predefined and cannot be moved to another location. It's not cheap, but it's pretty good.

I was trying to update the UV filter on my telephoto lens and this looked like a great option. The glass is very clear and doesn't cause any problems or artifacts with my photos.

For anyone who has a long telephoto lens this is perfect. You can keep the lens attached to the camera and access it from the top of the bag. The build quality is amazing. Overall, I like this better than the Peak Design backpack.

needed a sturdy tripod for portable astrophotography with my DSLR and a telephoto lens with my little launch tracker. This tripod is VERY stable, just what I needed. Highly recommended for portable space photography!

The lens in question is one of the few zooms available for sale, as most telephoto lenses have a fixed magnification factor. This allows you to set the optical magnification factor. At first glance, the system seems a bit smart, but if you take your hand, it's very easy to set. The instruction manual is indeed somewhat lacking. In practice, you must first center the telephoto mount on the phone and center it on the smartphone's main camera. Next you need to attach the lens to the mount and possibly set everything on the small tripod that comes with it. Opening the camera app, we immediately see a small circular image on the display, so you have to use the smartphone's zoom to enlarge the image until the screen is completely filled. At this point you can adjust the lens, both focus and magnification, and then we're ready to take photos or videos. Obviously, due to the magnification, the smartphone needs to be held as still as possible, so it's better to use the tripod. If you get acquainted with this procedure, everything will be much easier. I hope I helped other users with this review.

Purchased the filter for my Lumix telephoto lens 100 -300 mm, first I had an ND filter ND2 - ND 400
could not take sharp images when filming in telephoto, which has now been done with the ND 8 -128 filter. The filming is now sharp as they should be.
