I'm not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination but getting the best shots I can are important to me. I learn more every day.
I was drawn to order this tripod because it is compact and lightweight. Also, because the center piece is adjustable which is a feature that makes shooting at various heights much faster and easier.
I'm really impressed with the quality of this tripod. It's going to be my go to from now on. From taking photos low to taking them high this will help get the job done. Opening and closing it is smooth and it's put made very well.
I've not had time to mess with all of the features yet but do look forward to using this both for travel and at home.
I will admit that I couldn't find the manual but eventually discovered it in the zipped inside pocket of the carrying case. Speaking of the case, I wish it was a little larger. It is an extremely tight fit with the case I received and took time to get it closed. I'm concerned about the zipper breaking.
I'll be looking the manual over further but, even without it, this tripod is easy to use and worth the price.
