I'm 6'4" tall and this is a great tripod for someone my height. With the legs fully extended and the center column completely collapsed, combined with the included ball mount, it sets my camera at just about perfect eye height for me, maybe slightly taller. As you can see in the photos, with the center columns raised to their max, it is way over my head. The tripod is pretty stable, and medium heavy. But it is probably more stable than just about any other tripod for the height, since I can rely on only extending the legs and leaving the center columns down. The legs have 3 extension pieces, and 3 positions for spreading, just in case you are on uneven ground or need some extra stability. One complaint I have has to do with the included ball head mount. The locking mechanism for the ball head is on the right side, relative to the u slot that allows for aiming upwards beyond the normal range of the ball head. This means that if you need to make an adjustment to the camera when using the u-slot, you have to awkwardly reach across with your left hand, or reach all the way around with your left hand, as you have to use your right hand to hold the camera steady as you adjust the locking mechanism. The other option is to hold the camera with your left hand, but this causes you to have to hold the camera by the lens or awkwardly by the body. The other thing I don't like is that you have to remove the hook at the bottom of the center column if you want to invert the center column to locate your camera closer to the ground. I have not used enough tripods to know if the quick release is good or not. It can be challenging to set back in place sometimes, but that might be operator error.
Overall, I am very happy with this tripod and would recommend to anyone who is tall or looking for an extra tall tripod for specific uses.

The other thing that I don't like is that you have to remove the hook at the bottom of the central column if you want to reverse the central column to position your camera closer to the ground. I haven't used enough tripods to know if the quick release is good or not. It can sometimes be difficult to put back in place, but this could be due to operator error.

The main features of this tripod that set it off from my others are:-Lightweight: Hardly weighs anything so to maneuver it is super easy. Downside is it isn't the most stable when a camera is mounted on it in the offset position. I counter it by having the tripod lean a little away from the camera. Still I wouldn't choose my other heavier tripods for photo work. For video work though i would prefer my heavy tripod.-Versatility and adaptability: From mounting upside down to get close to the ground/floor to offsetting the camera from the base to reach around something this tripod can pretty much do anything. It doesn't take long to switch it up either which is nice. Much easier to do with the camera off the tripod though. The downside is this tripod has no handle so still video only. Photos no worry.-Size: The size goes hand in hand with the versatility and adaptability section but i think it deserves its own section. I am 6’3” and still find myself a lot of times holding the camera over my head to get different angles. This tripod is very tall and now when i need the high angles I have stability too which is nice. That being said it also makes itself small too.Overall I am impressed with this tripod. I was skeptical because of how light it was but it is great. For the price i think you are getting a good quality piece of equipment that will last a good time.

I can hold this easily with one hand and my camera in the other. It does have an insert where it looks like you can mount it to a tripod at the handle but none of mine fit. It’s a pretty big insert. If I can find that size that would be perfect to attach this too.

Second tripod should have bought this one first. Been using it to photograph thunderstorms and night landscapes. Super adjustable and sturdy. It took me a little bit to get used to the twist on the leg locks because they have a little play in them. All the screws stay in can't back them completely out without forcing them harder to lose. Would buy again

I really like the camera backpack. My camera has found space with interchangeable lenses. My tripod also fits perfectly. I used this as hand luggage on vacation and could even pack a change of clothes without it looking too squashed. It also did a great job of repelling light rain and kept my camera dry.
