This is the most adjustable tripod I've ever seen.

First of all, it is extremely large. I'm 6'1" and when it's fully inserted I can't reach the camera button to take a picture. If I wanted to do a crane shot with everything I have on hand, I would use that.

The monopod feels a bit fiddly, but if I had just enough room to carry one (pod?) with me and felt like I might need a tripod or monopod, that's really the only thing I've seen , which can be both.

It has a 90 degree articulation so I can shoot those product shots from top to bottom and it even comes with a ball mount so I don't have to attach my own head. Speaking of the ball mount, it has great smooth movement. So if I wanted to (and you have enough steady hands) I could use it as a stable axis for pan and tilt motion shots.

In addition, the legs are spread wide, so not only can I take extremely high shots, but I can also use it as a very low tripod, keeping the camera inches off the ground. The 90-degree elbow arm even lets me hold the camera sideways and upside down, with the ball mount keeping it almost at ground level.

The legs work pretty well. I've used smoother motion legs, but they're not bad.

It is light and with the bag it is easy to carry.

The only thing we still have to talk about is the robustness. I would describe it as mostly robust. I would trust it to hold my camera but on a windy day there will be movement in the shot. I can feel it wiggling a bit, and it's even more when it's fully extended. If I were going to use it for long exposure, I'd want to throw some sandbags on the hook.

Overall a great tripod for those looking for an all in 1 solution.

We recommend.
