I am very happy with the smoothness and sturdiness of this fluid head tripod! The tilt and pan are both very smooth as advertized! My zoom lens is very heavy so I needed the tri pod to be able to carry the load well. The bag it came seems sturdy as well. I'll be putting this equipment to the test for sure!

Ordered this tripod for... this. Primarily, Vine reviews, but also for casual photography whims. In the past, I've tried to take photographs of products where holding the phone steady was awkward or difficult. A desktop tripod may have been more suitable for some cases, but this works well standing it adjacent to the desk with the ball head slotted so that the phone's lens can be aimed at the desk's surface.

Not being a professional photographer, the finer points will certainly be missed. However, on durability, professional experience is not necessary here to realize the limits of plastic components. Notably, the socket that the ball head fits into at the top of the of the tripod and the joints connecting the vertical shaft to the three legs are likely failure points when the plastic has aged. For my usage, I expect to keep this cool and out of the sun, so I'm not terribly worried about the durability aside from occasional bumps while moving the tripod. Certainly, if I had needs for a tripod to take on long trips where I had little control over the environment, I would be inclined to pay more for something that I felt offered greater durability.

At the price point, the critical plastic parts should not be terribly surprising, but deserve mentioning. It's one of the few, arguable, faults that can be found with casual observation. It is versatile and I believe the product description to be accurate regarding its feature set. That is, every knob, screw, extension, or latch on the tripod behaves as I would expect them to. The only feature that seems to come up short is the integrated circular level on the head. It does not appear to be accurate enough to offer substantial guidance. However, this is a conclusion formed without rigorous testing and measurements.

A review might be incomplete without some applaud for the panoramic motion offered on the head of the tripod. It is exceptionally smooth, and feels luxurious. For a budget market solution, I'm not sure that it would be expected of a tripod.

With some certainty, this appears to be a great product for anyone that wants explore photography without making a substantial investment or just happens to need some tripod for some brief period.

I tested this with my SLR camera.

The tripod is delivered securely packed in a box and a tripod bag and makes a stable and valuable impression. I think it's great that this tripod comes with a matching carrying bag, which also looks very nice and is also very stable and valuable. The processing of the tripod is very good and made with high-quality materials. For its size (assembled 50 cm with bag) it is not too heavy either. It can be assembled compactly, which makes it easy to transport. The assembly and disassembly is very easy and quick. The tripod can be extended up to a height of 2m and is very stable.

The tripod is equipped with a 3D ball head and graduated scale, which allows the camera to be easily moved to any position. In addition, the ball head has a small spirit level for optimal alignment when setting up.

The tripod can be assembled and disassembled very quickly with one hand thanks to the quick-release fasteners on the tripod legs. You can also make many settings for the perfect stand on any surface on the tripod. There is also 1 gravity hook on the tripod itself, which can be used to increase the stability of the tripod by attaching heavy objects.

The base plate for attachment to the camera can be attached normally using a rotary thread. This is then also attached to the tripod itself with a fastening screw on the ball head, whereby the camera is then firmly and securely connected to the tripod.

The feet of the tripod have a plastic cover, which can be removed if necessary, underneath there is a metal spike, which allows the tripod to be firmly anchored to the ground. The feet can also be unscrewed from the tripod if required.

Conclusion: Top tripod suitable for both professional and hobby photographers

I think that this product is a very high-quality and well-made tripod, which has been very well thought out by the manufacturer and is therefore perfect for both professional and amateur photographers. Thanks to its compact design and quick and easy assembly, you can take it with you anywhere. All important setting options can be made easily and without any problems.

I am thrilled and can recommend the purchase without reservation. The price is reasonable.
I give it 5 stars and a buy recommendation.

This is a very good tripod. I have a Benro with fluid head for my Sigma 600m. But I needed a more versatile tripod for my landscape and macro photos and this is the best, easy to use, very good materials and you can use it in a lot of positions that helps you with the compositions.

it is very stable, much more stable than more expensive mobile video tripods. fluid head is not perfect but also works very well, even with larger setups. I wouldn't be afraid of the head falling forward or backward because of the weight. the legs are also very sturdy and not flimsy. Definitely recommended, especially because of the price/performance ratio. you don't always have to buy the best-known brands, you have to buy the right thing for the right price.

Was looking for another tripod with a removable head so I can fit my Manfrotto fluid head onto. The tripod is super compact, lightweight and sturdy.

This tripod has allowed me to do overhead shots and amazingly it's holding my Panasonic GH5, but obviously you have to make sure you have the supporting leg in the same direction.

Overall I'm very happy with it and it's so versatile for many different scenarios.

Stable, lightweight, and not too big when folded. Fluid ball head that easily supports the camera and large lenses. Comes with a carrying bag worthy of the name. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this tripod, which I highly recommend.
