Very well made. I thought so, that's why I rated it good at first. Unfortunately, I found out that the tripod has a central weak point. The center column is fixed using a large union nut that presses a thin plastic sleeve into the space between the center column and the guide head. See photos. If this thin, hard plastic sleeve breaks or becomes damaged, the entire tripod is rendered useless. Unfortunately, the sleeve does not reach far enough into the guide sleeve and comes loose when the center column is adjusted. It then always has to be centered manually, which makes adjusting the center column very cumbersome. Furthermore, the center column gets stuck when pulled out by this plastic sleeve because it is not fixed. This puts a lot of strain on this weak PVC part and wears it out. So it's only a matter of time before the tripod is finally scrap. The adjustment is already extremely difficult. It's difficult to go up, it's impossible to go down, because the clamp has to be completely unscrewed and adjusted manually. It's a shame that there is such a structural weakness at such a central point. Saving was made in the wrong place. Actually, the tripod is otherwise well thought out and built quite solidly.
