wanted to have a small tripod that is more stable, more comfortable and safer than my very simple + cheap tripods - but also smaller and lighter than my very professional and heavy camera tripod. With this tripod I have found a perfect solution for me. The entire tripod has a high-quality finish and everything you can use is of high quality, holds properly and closes properly. The legs do not have to be rotated endlessly, but have a click & lock fastener, which makes loosening and fastening very easy The upper bar is pulled out with 2 different mechanisms, which you have to get used to for a moment, but which is then easy and safe to use. There are various tools and fastening options as well as a bag. I only used the adapter for my smartphone , which works excellently. Thanks to the ball joint, you can fix it in any position. The included Bluetooth remote control is known from countless other products - at least I have more than 5 of them lying around. They do exactly what they are supposed to do. I deduct one point , because the workmanship is good but not super good and because I received a white tripod although I chose black.
