I got the best picture I have ever taken using the monopod part of this sturdy tripod. The picture was a long exposure of a waterfall. This tripod is sturdy but weighs quite a bit for me to pack as a rather small woman. One of the many neat features of this tripod is one leg (it's identified) can be taken off and used with the center piece as a monopod. The monopod I'm willing to tote on a hike. The monopod gave me the stability I needed for get the picture without any shake. It was fairly easy to get the pieces back in place when I returned. This tripod does extend really high which is helpful when shooting over fences such as those put up to keep the public safely back.
I like the idea of using this tripod better than taking along a ladder which I've seen some photographers use for abandoned buildings and ruins. Although I haven't made full use of the range of positions this tripod permits, I like its availability. I also like how secure my camera feels on the tripod. This comes with a carrying case so when it's not in use, this tripod doesn't take up much room. My rating is 5 stars because of the sturdiness and I love being able to also use this as a monopod.

I attach cameras to the bracket.I found out my two cameras CANNOT be tighten to the adapter.As if the screw is too long.What gives?Are all tripods like that ?Or defect? Other then that nice tripod.

nice

This is very robust and has a quick change bracket for the camera. Easy to open and adapt to any type of service and height.

A good little lens for the price. The body is plastic, but the bracket itself is metal. The optical quality won't compete with the big boys, but at this price point it's perfect.

The system with the CPL filter assembly beats everything I have used so far. Putting on the bracket is also easy to do. The quality of the filters themselves leaves nothing to be desired. This is how filter photography is just fun!

The filter set will be expanded shortly - the basis is already awesome. The bracket is "all of a piece" - the filters are really tight and can be adjusted as desired. The filter itself is made of glass, not plastic - simply top quality!
