The tripod makes a very good first impression. It is easy to carry in the pocket as well as in working mode but stable enough against shocks, the shake test with the camera (Lumix DC FZ 82) was good.... Fully unfold the tripod, fully extend the center support and extend the camera to superzoom , then shake the tripod a little - so you can see on the display of the cam how much the vibrations affect the picture in terms of sharpness and that it also has its limits for the price. I haven't been able to try it out in strong winds. The function of the individually adjustable tripod legs is practical, they can be perfectly adapted to the ground. They can be removed at the desired height with a clamp fastener - and pushed back in again, in this case it works all by itself if you hold the ends upwards. The legs can be folded out almost completely horizontally. A dragonfly (spirit level) supports straight positioning, even on sloping or uneven surfaces. In normal operation, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 1.60 without a camera. The perfect height for me. Settings for tilting the shooting position vertically and/or horizontally with a ball head is done in a few steps. The camera mount has to be removed in order to attach the camera with a screw. Brief instructions are included, but only in English and Chinese. It cannot be used as a monopod. All in all I am very satisfied with this tripod, which I finally decided on, the selection is almost unmanageable, as is the price range. This tripod fulfills its purpose and I can highly recommend it.
