I bought the tripod in December as the initial equipment for my Sony alpha 6000 and was able to test it extensively on my holiday in Denmark. First of all, you should note that the tripod only cost 37 euros. At least when I bought it. At least you don't get a 100% plastic bomber for that. The legs are made of aluminium. But not the rest. Locks for the telescopic legs, center column, camera mount and all adjustment screws are made of plastic. However, this is only noticed a little negatively with the center column, because you can adjust the height with a crank and it is a bit notchy. I think the quick-locking camera mount is really good. Lift the lever, remove the camera with the platform and you're done. So you don't have to unscrew them every time. As far as durability goes, further use will show how the plastic reacts to frequent use. One point of criticism that I noticed is the susceptibility to vibration. The tripod is quite light at 1.7 kg. Really great for on the go. But very annoying when it's windy. Unfortunately, the camera with zoom lens offers a lot of contact points and the tripod really starts to vibrate quite strongly. However, you can attach a weight to a hook on the center column to reduce this. I still have to test whether it will improve it. All in all, it's a useful tripod for the price. Whether it's a real camera, action cam or cell phone, for which a holder is also included, a beginner's tripod is fine. There must only be a 1/4 inch thread, which is usually standard. That's why 4 stars. 1 point deduction for all the plastic. One point of criticism that struck me is the susceptibility to vibration. The tripod is quite light at 1.7 kg. Really great for on the go.
