Lightweight tripod with quick release and carrying case! !
Well, I only buy things if I absolutely need them.
►What do you get?
In the box there is a nice carrying case, the tripod and the quick release.
Personally, I use the tripod the most and when I have to create content for social media, I also use the quick release for my phone.
►How bright is the tripod?
Compared to what I've used so far, it's very light. I would definitely recommend it especially for travellers, at 1.33kg it's wow! !
►What is carbon on this tripod?
The tubes, the rest is good quality aluminum.
►The head?
When you see if, for the first time, it may seem small to you, but from what I've experienced, it does a good job. It goes 360° and has a marking all around, which is very useful, especially for panoramas or large landscapes.
It really helps me when I need to shoot from a specific angle and then I turn my head to get a different angle and literally take a picture of the angle where the camera was positioned before. That way I don't have to worry about getting a different angle.
The head plate is decorated with a nice rubber logo that will prevent your camera from slipping.
The lock works very well. When I move my camera almost 3kg in portrait mode all the weight goes to one side and when I lock the head it literally stays where I wanted it to. Head rotation is smooth, no problem to interrupt your smooth video.
►The central part of the tripod?
The lock which is located in the middle is easy to access and loosen or lock.
There is also the wheel lock with rubber on the top which will allow you to make the tripod higher. I strongly suggest locking it properly to prevent your camera from sliding down.
►The legs?
These have 4 sections and will allow you to go very precisely with the pitch.
The best part is that when you open them they slide out very quickly so you don't have to pull them, for me it saves a lot of time which I always do I unlock all 3 legs of all sections and just let them open. Also, when you adjust the height, the legs are very smooth.
At the bottom they have a good solid rubber that will prevent the tripod from slipping. I mainly use it in the kitchen where I'm filming a cooking show and the tripod stays in place on the tiles. For this, also use a backpack of about 5-7 kg inside to stabilize it properly. There is a hook that you use to attach things (like in my case the backpack for extra stability).
For what I use, it's great. Now I can't say anything about hiking where the wind might be an issue.
I use it strictly in the kitchen and move it around a lot to capture different angles.
►Why did I buy this one over others?
It is very simple, because it is light and compact. Sometimes I have to go to my clients for food shots and I have to take the gear with me and I wanted something that saves me weight and size. This tripod is what I needed.
►The quick release?
Well built and good looking too, I would say use it more with phones. It's very handy to have it around and I consider a good addition is that you get it with the tripod.
►The carrying case?
Attractive ! You can easily install the tripod (folded correctly) and maybe some other small equipment, there is still space.
►Overall experience on this subject?
I was a little surprised at how light and compact it is. Easy to use and stable enough for my static setup and the 3kg camera I use the most.
►The disadvantages? I haven't found any so far.
