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.
