Awesome, I added this to my regular tripod and it worked perfect, makes it easy to clamp in or out of the tripod and point in any direction including up for astrophotographers :)

I bought the carbon tripod because I finally wanted a ball head :-). The tripod is incredibly light and remains very stable. The screw caps can be easily opened and then securely fastened again. The camera sits perfectly on the ball joint and is then super adjustable. The fixing screws are easy to move and yet very easy to fix.

When the camera is attached to the ball head mount with the plate, the spirit level is on the side of the screen, where it suits me. BUT the wheel to fix the plate is then on the side of the lens. With my Sigma, however, the rotary knob is almost on the lens. There are only tenths to hundredths between the rotary knob and the lens.

Otherwise the tripod is a recommendation:

- Weight
- stability
- size
- flexibility
- rapid deployment

Looking for a light and compact tripod for organizing a trip, I came across this one, barely 1kg300 for 38cm folded. It also carries the possibility of making a monopod very quickly, which will be interesting to capture an image in a place where the tripod would not have been possible.

For this small build, the tripod is very solid, since it easily supports the weight of my 6d mark ii with its grip and its two batteries + a sigma 70-200. (even with the articulated arm deployed).

The legs of the tripod have 5 sections, which allows it to go from around 35cm to 155cm and the central column can be reversed to allow the device to be placed at ground level!

It comes with a carrying bag, an extension for the monoball monopod, a ball head with an "arca swiss" type quick plate which allows the lens to be attached directly to the ball head without using the quick plate (see photo 4).

In conclusion, a purchase that I do not regret and which for its price is more than qualitative.

Good stable tripod and like the phone mount plate that's class !!

This is a step up from the many cheaper quick release plates on Amazon. It is beautifully constructed with moulded safety catches to prevent the plate from sliding off an arca swiss style quick release clamp.

I have it permanently fixed to a heavy 300mm zoom lens and bought it for use with a K&F ball head but have found that it fits all of my other arca swiss clamps too. The only one it doesn’t accommodate is a Sirui clamp which has no recessed grooves for safety catches. I would avoid buying the Sirui clamp altogether and kit yourself out with this style of plate and clamp combination because it is much more versatile, is cheaper, and in this case, just as well constructed.

I've included two photos showing the quick release plate and a K&F ball head. Just look at the build quality.

A fantastic product.

As a hobby photographer, my camera is of course always with me...especially when travelling! That's why I bought this tripod as a travel tripod. The tripod was packaged very well and arrived without any damage. When I opened the package, the tripod was again packed in a separate box (OVP). An important point if you want to give the tripod as a gift. The scope of delivery included the tripod with a tripod bag and an adapter for the smartphone. I will probably never use the latter, because I don't get out a tripod for taking pictures with my cell phone...I was and still am very positively surprised by the tripod...it makes a very high-quality impression. It can also be carried very well in the hand thanks to the handle for short distances. For longer distances, however, I clamp it to my photo backpack, because the weight distribution is better that way. The clamp fasteners allow the legs of the tripod to be extended in a matter of seconds. My old tripod had screw caps and that took a little longer and was annoying at times...especially when it had to be done quickly. The tripod still has a spirit level. So you can at least see when the tripod is straight. It would have been a great bonus if the tripod head also had a spirit level. However, it is unlikely to be found in this price segment and it is ok. The tripod head can be rotated 360 degrees. The long lever, which makes it possible to swivel the head smoothly without jerking, is practical. What is important especially for panorama and video recordings. If I am not wrong, the tripod head is a 2-way tilt head. Also particularly suitable for videos. The tripod also has rubber feet that are attached to ball joints (unfortunately I don't know the correct name for them

Overall I'm happy with the tripod, at the moment I want to use it for shooting slides. is so big that I can no longer open the battery and memory card compartment on the camera (MFT) and I have to detach the "quick release plate" from the camera every time I change. I have Tried using a small square quick-release plate (like those used on SLR cameras in the past), but the plate mount on the new tripod is a millimeter too small. remains cumbersome (memory card in , screwed quick-change blade,

This is a step up from the many cheaper quick release plates on Amazon. It is beautifully constructed with molded safety latches to prevent the plate from slipping off an Arca-Swiss quick release clamp. I mounted it tightly to a heavy 300mm zoom lens and bought it to use with a K&F ball head, but have found it fits all my other Arca Swiss clamps as well. The only one it can't accommodate is a Sirui clamp, which doesn't have recessed grooves for security latches. I would avoid buying the Sirui clamp whole and stock up on this type of plate and clamp combo as it is much more versatile, cheaper and in this case just as well constructed. I have attached two photos showing the quick release plate and a K&F ball head. Just look at the build quality. A fantastic product.
