Having spend a fair amount hiking and exploring, I was looking in the market for a lighter weight tripod (i had full-size alloy one ). I find this carbon fiber tripod affordable to buy within my budget. It is Very Light (1005 grams - Verified) so definitely helps for long hiking trips.
All three legs are carbon material which can be adjusted into multiple heights using 4 circular locks on each leg. Each circular lock tightens a leg in clockwise rotation for a particular height and releases the legs to expand in anti-clock rotation. The camera mounts on a plastic made base along with bubble level to align the camera straight. So far I have used this tripod on hiking trip only once and my camera sits without any wiggle on the plastic mount with kit lens, prime lens and telephoto zoom lens.
Each leg has 2 indexing positions which works well for me. My previous tripod had 3 index positions and to be honest, I never really used the middle one so it's not a huge loss for me. The legs extend with a twist-lock mechanism and slides and locks very smoothly, noticeably more smooth than my previous one. I do have a 70-200mm lens and feel I have to be a bit more careful when getting my shots set up because this tripod has a narrower stance than my previous one and with my lens mounted at full extension is a little less stable than I'd like. BUT, given my intended use and how compact and light weight this tripod is, I am very, very satisfied with it.

I declare that I was initially very skeptical about the characteristics of this object, but as soon as I was able to collect it, I immediately realized that it was a quality product.
Let's start with the weight, a feature that many underestimate but that offers great stability, just like in this case. 1.5 kg of aluminum which will help you shoot much sharper.
Absolutely practical to transport thanks to the bag in which it is contained and especially thanks to its small size: 40 cm when closed which allowed me to store it safely in hand luggage.
At its maximum extension it measures 150cm and thanks to the excellent leg locking systems it will be extremely stable.
The ball joint is very smooth and the camera can be rotated very easily.
The well-designed screw mount, structured to firmly hold the camera on the tripod.
Ability to take wonderful panoramic photos thanks to a small wheel which, if unscrewed, allows you to slowly and absolutely steadily rotate the camera.
A small highlight of this tripod is the possibility, thanks to an supplied Allen key, to unscrew a tripod leg to use it as a monopod.

I strongly recommend buying this product which has only points in favor, after 2 months of use I have not yet found any fault and I am really satisfied!

bought this to hold my mirrorless camera to travel around. It came with a carrying leg to hold the tripod and accessories. It has great quality metal tripod legs and is lightweight, which make it easy to carry around. The legs can be easily adjusted and can also be converted to a monopod. When it comes to holding the camera, it is very firm and sturdy. The 360 degree rotation is stable and great for landscape and panorama shooting.

It seems nice and sturdy I like that one leg can be removed and used as a single pole stand and a good walking stick.

This is a very nice mid-range tripod with a lot of functionality. While it does fold down, it is not a small thing, and it's great that it comes with a case but this isn't too small either so be prepared for an extra thing to lug around. This isn't going to fit in well with a compact set of camera gear.It is incredibly adjustable, extending to a height well over the height of my head so it's ideal for really tall people (alas, I am not really tall). Despite its size, it is also very lightweight, being made of aluminium. It does feel a little rattly when you are setting it up but once you have it ready with the camera on (and possibly hanging a bag/weight from it) it feels very sturdy indeed.There is no pan handle but there is a bolt you can loosen to allow panoramic panning, which is a very smooth movement. The head is also fully rotatable, moving through 360 degrees.You can also remove one leg and part of the central tube to create a monopod instead, the rubber foot of which is removable so you can use the spike instead to prevent the leg sliding along the ground.The tripod is rated to take up to 8kg in weight. One of my lenses is a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM which actually weighs close to 15kg. Add the body at another 700g and surprisingly the tripod doesn't struggle at all. They've obviously greatly undersold how well the tripod handles with greater weights loaded on it. However, this was tested with no additional weight hanging from it, and I was inside on a level hard floor at the time.All in all this is an amazing tripod for the price. Perhaps more expensive than a beginner would like to pay but it is getting on for professional quality at only a fraction of the price. It is a very good investment if you have any desire to up your photography game.

It's light and appears to be well built. Could be a little bigger, especially the single detachable leg. Overall good, would buy again.

The tripod is delivered in an additional box. In addition, the tripod is stowed away in the transport bag. An Allen key and a small manual are also included in the bag. The tripod can be carried safely and easily in the bag provided. The bag also has a handle. The tripod is well made and still light. Everything looks very valuable and not fragile. The legs of the tripod can be easily extended and locked in length, thanks to the rubberized rings on the legs, which can be locked by turning. There are 4 extensions per leg, which can be adjusted individually. This makes it possible to find a safe position on almost any surface. The angle of the legs is freely selectable and can be determined at 2 levels, I took a photo of it, you can actually see it quite well. In addition, it is possible to align the legs in such a way that the ball head for the camera is upside down in order to be able to take close-up shots on the ground. The actual ball head makes a stable impression. It can be easily locked and released again and can be adjusted in all imaginable angles and positions. The camera itself is mounted on a quick-release plate. In this there is a screw at the bottom and an additional bracket so that the camera can be attached to it without tools. One leg can be dismantled and the ball head screwed onto it. Then you just have a support and no free-standing tripod. My conclusion...a light, stable tripod with a good price-performance ratio. to be able to take close-up shots on the ground. The actual ball head makes a stable impression.
