Just received and it's out of the box. Pros: Lightweight tripod / well thought out clip / good workmanship / compact once connected and even the feet can be completely reversed to make items more compact when transporting / universal tray, second universal tray with GSM attachment / post under the main hook your bag hangs there to improve stability / right size clip / ball head / interchangeable head / level gauge / monopod with foam grip / the included carrying case looks very sturdy ** * current flaws: for me I see only one "negative" point , it's the bottom part the column in "monopod" mode, that is, to use the item as a monopod you must use a branch with foam grips, no problem, You must fill out the middle list. This requires you to unscrew the bottom of the column, but with the center column removed and the monopod mounted, what about that connector? No extended branch exposes the thread... it is necessary to be able to screw the plug onto the exposed branch so that there is no loss of the plug nor the risk of unwanted elements in the pipe itself, just a pity. Other than that, it looks perfect to me and I'm almost ready to sell old but sturdy equipment that's too heavy for me. One final point, as always, see if this tripod will prove to be faithful and sturdy over the years. Let's wait and see. what about this plug?
