A good travel tripod. It is compact and lightweight yet sturdy. Great value for money.

Compact and easy to use

Lightweigt and relatively compact, this tripod is great for hiking.

Outstanding for hiking and outdoor macro photography. Wish the legs had three different positions but it doesn’t bother me too much for the price.

A great tripod, compact and lightweight.

This tripod has around 12 possibilities of usage, while being very compact when closed, fitting in a small backpack. My only complaint is that it could be lighter, considering how small it turns, but other than that this is probably my best photography related purchase so far.I already used it for macro photography, portraits, landscapes and product photos.I love that it can literally go to 0cm and position the camera on the ground, this is how I took some nice dog and insect photos.

I've been using the tripod for repro photography for almost 2 years and I'm still satisfied. The tripod is compact, easy to transport and versatile thanks to the ball head.

I've been using this tri-pod for about a month and I like it a lot it. It isn't perfect but it works well. Its to large for a travel tripod or a hiking Tripod but with the protective case andhoulder strap I am able to carry it along with me and go to shoot locations. I also found it works great for macrophotography and product photography. Being able to move the tripod main shaft into a perpendicular position I was able to get the perfect straight down shot. It even converts into a mono pod. I haven't used this option yet since I had a decent monopod during my last hiking trip. I misplaced the monopod and I think its a goner. I plan on taking it on my next long trip in the late fall.The ball head screws that tighten down and lock it into place are ok but at the right angel it becomes difficult to hold in place. For large camera and lenses this could be an issue. The screw mount also makes a cracking sound if you tighten it down to much. So be careful.This is a tall and heavy tripod. Its great for windy days or shoot about the crowd's head. At full extension its almost 7 feet tall I think. When all the extensions are extended and stowed away. It uses a screw style locking system. They hold tight and I haven't had them loosen up while in use or transport.If you need a good tripod that can reach over the heads of the crowd, transform into monopod, or need a perpendicular tripod mount, then this is a great option. As always, I will update this review if anything changes.
