Does exactly what it says on the box
Don’t get too hung up on the decision if you are considering this tripod and on paper it does everything you want it to do. Take it from me, it is amazing value for money. I purchased mine from Fry’s Electronics for ten spot more than here (doh!) and I’m still happy as a happy thing with it. It does just about everything you could want a portable tripod to do, I bought it for the purpose of throwing in the back of my truck rather than trying to lug a big old studio ‘pod around with me wherever I go (I hate to miss a shot for want of a steady spot) and in the use it has had over the last few weeks, it seems to be a great mix of size, features and weight. Sure, it isn’t super duper rigid, sure the fluidity of the joints leaves something to be desired, but for goodness sake, this isn’t some high end carbon fibre/magnesium alloy poser ‘pod, look at the price! A ‘pod for the common man!In terms of negatives, I wish it cost five spot more and came with a bag (tripod bags are useful sometimes, though not something you can’t do without), and a slightly more ‘finger accessible’ tripod screw might be nice (if you want the quick release puck for the tripod on tight, you do it with a coin, works well and keeps it compact, just a little inconvenient if you don’t have a coin to hand.)All in all, a tremendous piece of kit. Amazing price, here especially. Does what you need.
