Probably among the very few, if not the only choice if you are looking for a tripod (your first, as in my case) in carbon and under 150€. Overall, a good product if you're starting out with photography (like me) and you want to make a smart purchase and avoid meager tripods that will force you to spend more money in the near future.

When closed, it is very compact and easy to carry given its zero weight, durable and well-made.

I thought the 162cm height of the tripod was few. I am 179 cm tall and the fully extended tripod is definitely acceptable (if not perfect, since we are talking about a compact and travel tripod!) for my height; by extending the central column and with the ball head mounted, it reaches exactly between my chin and my mouth (so almost eye level with the camera mounted... I have a Canon M50 MII) thus avoiding bending too much and causing any discomfort.

The only point is that the orange sticks to orient the legs seem a bit fragile but nothing tragic, just pay attention to them. After all, for absolute quality, you undoubtedly have to go up in price.

I haven't tested it in the field yet but I don't expect gross and unpleasant surprises.
