I bought this as a gift for a friend of mine who is very keen on photography.
I recently bought an overhead tripod from the same company and thought it was great.
This one is smaller and lighter.
My friend is really happy with the tripod. He said he loves how many different ways it can be used to support his camera and that he can't wait to try them all out soon. I will give an update once he as tried it more but so far he says he cannot find any issues with it whatsoever.
UPDATE: So he took it to the woods for a test run and absolutely enjoyed the experience. He raved about the foam support for easy carrying on the monopod leg. Never did it feel like he was lugging gear around.
The only tiny little niggle he had was with getting used to using screw turn release for the legs rather than latches.
Either way it's still 5 stars from a very appreciative gift recipient.

So far this is pretty sturdy and simple to use. The true test will come after setting up and down a quite a few times

I picked this up because I'd heard some great things from friends in the photo industry, and I must say: I have not been disappointed. This thing is nuts!
The build quality is top notch: The head is sturdy while still being smooth/maneuverable when the tension is released - my Sony a7ii w/battery grip mounts beautifully and doesn't slip or cause the ball head to fall/move when it's tightened down. All of the adjustable knobs feel SUPER smooth and tighten down really nicely. The legs feel robust, and the latches on the collapsible legs feel great (and rule if you need to get this thing to full height in a pinch).
Overall I'm just kinda blown away. I didn't expect for a tripod in this price range to be SO great - this is definitely the best travel tripod that I've ever owned - and I couldn't recommend it more.

This is a great Tripod. I have a canon 6DMII shoot with 100 2.8f macro usm lens and a 50 1.4f lens. This is durable enough for my macro and body. It’s quite sturdy. I do food, portrait, and travel photography. Have brought this on road trips and it’s so compact

For a long time I only used a cheap tripod because I thought why spend so much money on it. I often had the problem that my old tripod was unstable and eventually even broke due to of poor quality. This tripod here, however, makes the difference. On the one hand, it can be set much higher and the solid iron legs ensure a good hold even in strong winds. So definitely worth it. A practical carrying bag is also included (see photo).

I've been into photography for over 45 years and this tripod is so ,ight, useful and quickly adjusted I wish I had one a long time ago. One of the legs detaches and becomes a mono-pod. Easily adjustable and light the only thing left out is a hook at the bottom center pole to be able to hang your bag from it to add more stability when doing long exposures or in windy conditions. I intend to see whatever else they sell and see if I can replace any other equipment I have for my photography. Photo was taken with tripod!

The tripod is made of aluminum and is super stable, the rubber feet also provide good support and protect my floor from scratches. I was able to attach my camera quickly and the whole thing is bombproof even on a uneven terrain. The included ball joint is very smooth, nothing sticks or gets stuck.

I received this as a Fathers Day present and what a present, this Tripod is far and away better than any other I have used through the years, it is very well made, strong and sturdy exactly what I need as I mostly shoot Macro, it also comes with a very useful Mono Pod that lives inside the centre of the Tripod till its needed I found it to be of the same good build quality and sturdiness as the main Tripod it more then easily held my camera and a long lens I would suggest to the manfacturer that if possible to put the brand name and model on the Mono Pod enabling others to see how good it is. The tripods quick release comes with 2 plates and is very strong and I was confident about it holding an expensive camera. To sum up I can highly reccomend this Tripod for the price paid I am sure it will give many years of quality use.

This tripod is quick and easy to set up. It can be adjusted very flexibly up to approx. 171 cm. The individual legs can also be perfectly adjusted to surfaces of different heights. The monopod can be extended up to 180cm. There is also a small spirit level on the ball head so you can immediately see if the tripod is straight. Since it is made of aluminum, it gives a stable and high-quality impression. As shown in the photo, the camera can also be mounted from below (upside down) for close-up shots. A handy pouch is included for transport. I can definitely recommend the product because it is very stable and also looks great. It is perfect for all amateur photographers.
