This one is cheap in the truest sense of the word. The plate holds tight, the tripod is stable and can be shrunk to a very compact size for transport. The ball head is great and the tripod can be laid out in two directions, so that the camera can also be pointed downwards.

I bought the carbon tripod because I finally wanted a ball head :-). The tripod is incredibly light and remains very stable. The screw caps can be easily opened and then securely fastened again. The camera sits perfectly on the ball joint and is then super adjustable. The fixing screws are easy to move and yet very easy to fix.

When the camera is attached to the ball head mount with the plate, the spirit level is on the side of the screen, where it suits me. BUT the wheel to fix the plate is then on the side of the lens. With my Sigma, however, the rotary knob is almost on the lens. There are only tenths to hundredths between the rotary knob and the lens.

Otherwise the tripod is a recommendation:

- Weight
- stability
- size
- flexibility
- rapid deployment

Looking for a light and compact tripod for organizing a trip, I came across this one, barely 1kg300 for 38cm folded. It also carries the possibility of making a monopod very quickly, which will be interesting to capture an image in a place where the tripod would not have been possible.

For this small build, the tripod is very solid, since it easily supports the weight of my 6d mark ii with its grip and its two batteries + a sigma 70-200. (even with the articulated arm deployed).

The legs of the tripod have 5 sections, which allows it to go from around 35cm to 155cm and the central column can be reversed to allow the device to be placed at ground level!

It comes with a carrying bag, an extension for the monoball monopod, a ball head with an "arca swiss" type quick plate which allows the lens to be attached directly to the ball head without using the quick plate (see photo 4).

In conclusion, a purchase that I do not regret and which for its price is more than qualitative.

Good stable tripod and like the phone mount plate that's class !!

I love this tripod. It will provide everything that possibly needs to be done with a tripod. The horizontal bar adapts to all types of photography styles. I recommend buying this tripod.

Overall I'm happy with the tripod, at the moment I want to use it for shooting slides. is so big that I can no longer open the battery and memory card compartment on the camera (MFT) and I have to detach the "quick release plate" from the camera every time I change. I have Tried using a small square quick-release plate (like those used on SLR cameras in the past), but the plate mount on the new tripod is a millimeter too small. remains cumbersome (memory card in , screwed quick-change blade,
