Compact Travel Tripod Aluminium Alloy Camera Tripod 15kg/33.07lbs Load 70"/177cm Max Height M1 + BH-35L (old model SP4022M3)
SKU: KF09.105
My review title actually already anticipates it, or gets to the point. It is a very solid, high-quality, flawlessly processed tripod that is stable and has a solid footing on almost any surface. Due to its small size, it can also be safely stowed away without the bag on a backpack with tensioning straps on the outside and is then ready for use in no time. Telescoping is absolutely smooth-running and even jerk-free when filming. Quality has its price, but it is justified in every respect!

The tripod can be set up quickly and easily and is very stable even at maximum height. Both a shoulder strap and a carrying bag are available for transport! Very compact when folded. I am very satisfied with the tripod.

You can easily adapt this tripod to your needs without any problems. The practical experience will only be found out in everyday life. I will have to get used to using the ball head.

I bought the carbon tripod because I finally wanted a ball head :-). The tripod is incredibly light and yet very stable. The screw caps are easy to open and then tighten again. The camera sits great on the ball head and is then super adjustable. The fixing screws are smooth-running and yet very easy to fix. 1.: Unfortunately for me there are 2 small weaknesses in the product: The clamps for adjusting the tripod feet rattle incredibly. I always have to worry that the clamps will fall off. 2.: When the camera is attached to the plate on the ball head mount, the spirit level is on the side of the display, which I think is ok. BUT the knob for attaching the plate is then on the side of the lens. With my Sigma, however, the rotary knob is almost on the lens. There are only 10ths to 100ths between the rotary knob and the lens. I find this ugly.Otherwise, the tripod is a recommendation.Positive:-Weight-Stability-Size-Flexibility-faster useNegative:-Clamp to adjust the tripod legs rattle-Setting screw for attaching the mounting plate camera/ball head very, very, very tight to the Tripods from SigmaNevertheless a clear recommendation on my part.

Personally I found starting on a cheaper tripod help enhance my skills and made it easier when using a more expensive one. If you have extra money and shoot video often (or for money) I would recommend investing in something better. It will save you time and money in post.

The tripod looks very stable. All the levers, wheels etc. seem to be solidly built and I'm not worried about my camera on the tripod. This tripod should last many years and serve me well for many photos.

In addition to the heavy main tripod, I was looking for a lighter travel tripod for air travel. The tripod leaves a good quality impression and seems to confirm the requirement. Ultimately, this can only be seen in reality in hard use. The tripod head can also carry a 600mm telephoto.

I've shot video professionally and personally for years. I've used $5k tripods and $50 tripods so here is my two cents.
PROS:
All the components fit snug together with very little play when locked down. The screws turned nicely and it was easy to adjust
