A very stylish tripod but they definitely chose form over function. When attached with a zoom lens the tripod will sag a few degrees before locking into place. You will need to use the timer setting on your camera in order for the picture to be in focus (when using zoom lens). Other than that it's a very practical tripod, lightweight, and comes with a carrying case.

this tripod system is an excellent purchase if you are on a low budget but want pro-grade shots from your equipment. it is sturdily built and has a few hidden features like sling undershooting and very low and wide-leg placement. it also has a removable leg for use as a mono pod. this tripod system is great for tabletop overhead filming and is ideal for streamers who want a different angle, I highly recommend this tripod system.

This tripod was exactly what I needed for a variety of photoshoot situations. Lightweight for on location shoots, tall for overhead shots, sturdy and balanced for my Nikon D-90.

This is everything it promises to be. Lightweight, comes with an very nice carry case. The ability to have the main rod lay out laterally for positioning a camera straight down on a subject is ingenious and the most useful feature, making food shots, unboxing videos and animations a breeze. Using this tripod with a remote shutter release is icing on a cake. One leg removes easily for a mono-pod and the ball head is one of the best I have ever used at this price point. The main rod can also be reversed for low to the ground shots, but I found getting this to easily be pulled out and replaced through the main adjustment tube can be tricky so it's important your not in a hurry to do this. Overall I could not have chosen a better tripod for my needs. I use a Lumix GH5s and this tripod easily supports it's weight and I would almost say the two are a match made in heaven.

I have used this for a little bit and I like it so far. The twist locks are much nicer for me than the flip style. The legs feel sturdy and the height both at the lowest and the tallest is useful.

The quick version - this tripod is amazing, get it home and look no further.
The long version - decided to purchase this as an upgrade to an older, lighter and less sturdier tripod that served me well for quite some time, but was rather wobbly in windy weather. The tripod came packaged nicely, so I expect no issues whatsoever with transit.
It comes with a nice carrying case that also features a shoulder strap if you're into this sort of stuff. Setting it up is quite easy and natural if you're into photography, but in case you feel unsure about something - it also features a user guide, which is fairly descriptive.
Once extended, the notable features can be easily spotted - nice build quality, smooth rotational head, padded grip on the side for carrying (no more cold hands..), side-extensible arm for some top-down shots (though expect to have to cut on the tripod itself in post as arm is not too long anyway), quite sturdy, fast lock-unlock of legs, leveler on the head..
Overall, I believe the tripod is well worth the money and looking at the build quality I expect it to last for quite some time. 5/5, would totally recommend.

Joints are sloppy, especially the leg joints. The ball joint either holds or the camera flops over. I'm not yet sure the saving is enough to offset the lower quality. Similar tridops can be more expensive but are probably a better option based on quality and ease of use.
