So far so good. This is super light weight. No more “lugging”. It folds down to nothing, especially if you remove the ball head. The legs expand out quickly. The legs do seem a bit flimsy and the tripod isn’t as solid feeling as ones I’ve had in the past. But. If you just have a mirrorless with lenses under 300mm or so, no problem. I have a Sony A6500 and it holds this no prob. Use a 5 second delay or remote trigger and that should kill any vibration before the shot.
The only thing I’ve found that kills tripods is SAND. It gets into the twist locks and that’s the death sentence. This one hasn’t been to the beach yet but I’ll update this if things change from five stars.

This thing is TINY. I carried it with my hand luggage. It’s made pretty well and will hold a DSLR fine.

Works great. Super light. Durable. And love it’s features. Although putting it away, you need to really have everything in its proper place.
Can’t close the legs of the neck tie is rotated and resting a certain way.
It’s effect but it is nice , good quality and so far working 9/10

Ordered for on the move photography. This unit is light and compact and ideal to carry on outdoor trips. Pleased with purchase.

Excellent tripod for the price and quite light. I also have the aluminium one... I sort of expected the carbon fibre to be significantly when carrying but although it’s definitely lighter.. perhaps it’s not as significant as all that.

This is a competitive market, and there are some very expensive carbon lightweights out there, but I think value for the money is key here. It’s a great design, and at 1kg, a no-brainer for travel. It’s stable, and with the hook under for hanging a bag or weight , it really locks it down. The ball head has a tendency to unscrew if you do panoramic pan anti-clockwise which is annoying, and folding it back down can be tricky to get it back in the bag, but overall it’s a great design.

Have tested the tripod a bit now and am very fond of it, you are very versatile and you can really extend from the ground to very high and stand well. I have tested other ball heads in the local market and none were as smooth in this price range.

Reasonable and clean workmanship (allows positions to be set precisely and reproducibly)
with 90° cross arm very good for TOP view shots
many adjustment possibilities, which can otherwise only be found with approx. twice as expensive suppliers
offers good quality for the low price
