I have a small carbon fiber tripod that I like to take with me on most trips, but wanted to use it for home, around town and mountain trips. There are several features that I love about this tripod and that makes it unique even though I already own two other tripods.

First of all I'm 1.85m tall so I love that this tripod can be extended well beyond my height. I plan to use it even for unique overhead shots as I can trigger my shutter with an app (I usually use a Sony A7RIII.. a Canon 5D Mark III is in the photo).

Secondly, the monopod function is fantastic. You just unscrew one leg and that's where the bar attaches to the head and you screw it together. I wanted a monopod that could support some weight and this fills that need.

Third, and the main reason I wanted it, is that it can be used for overhead shooting (my attached photo has a quick example of how this works... sorry for the old iPhone image quality). I occasionally review tech gear for Youtube so my iPhone or Canon can be used for overhead shots while I use the Sony for head-on video on one of my less capable tripods.

I think the only thing I don't know right now is how well it will work, but I'll update it if I have problems. I would also like to note that my girlfriend liked the look. I think the orange parts of the tripod are attractive compared to the typical all black designs on my other tripods.

All in all, this fulfills so many needs for my regular home use that my travel tripod can usually just be left in my pocket.

The tripod is compact and lightweight. The mount is plastic which is a shame it would have been nice to have a metal one.

The camera movement is nice and smooth and it has a lot of position. The legs are strong and sturdy. It needs a counterweight when using the overhead and the hook for one isn't the best.

Pros
Nice build quality
easy to adust lefts and head.
smooth glide.
light-weight

Cons
plastic camera mount
tips easy when using the overhead.

Overall a nice tripod with a few bits that could be improved to make it prefect.

It is an awesome tripod, worth the money. When i bought it, i was scared that i won't be able to take overhead shots but in deed it worked well.

This tripod is the least expensive I could find that will hold a camera for overhead shots. It does that job well. My biggest concern is that it is not fast to set up or tear down. All of the legs have clamps that screw to tighten instead of a faster levered clamp. Overall, it does the job but is missing some features. For what I paid, I would buy it again.

Absolute purchase recommendation! The tripod is very stable, you can mount the camera overhead, very good workmanship, high-quality products.

I ordered this tripod for my overhead shots as of now I love it. It’s light weight and good sturdiness holding my DSLR camera perfectly. I got perfect shots with it.

I bought this as a gift for a friend of mine who is very keen on photography.
I recently bought an overhead tripod from the same company and thought it was great.
This one is smaller and lighter.

My friend is really happy with the tripod. He said he loves how many different ways it can be used to support his camera and that he can't wait to try them all out soon. I will give an update once he as tried it more but so far he says he cannot find any issues with it whatsoever.

UPDATE: So he took it to the woods for a test run and absolutely enjoyed the experience. He raved about the foam support for easy carrying on the monopod leg. Never did it feel like he was lugging gear around.
The only tiny little niggle he had was with getting used to using screw turn release for the legs rather than latches.

Either way it's still 5 stars from a very appreciative gift recipient.

My daughter and I both do video product reviews from time to time. I have jerryrigged solutions in the past for overhead shots. We wanted something a bit more professional and stable. This was exactly what we needed.

It is so cleverly designed and versatile. It can be a normal tripod, a monopod, an overhead or underslung tripod as well. It's reasonably light and comes with a great carry bag as well.

I will admit it took me a little while (aka fathoming the instructions) to find how the overhead part comes out of the main tripod. It cleverly stows away inside the main shaft when it is not needed.

So glad that I invested in this. Worth every penny.
