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.
