This Trip is not for the faint hearted, it is a professional heavy duty video tripod. it is made from light alloy but still has a substantial weight to it. The tripod has a 360-degree fluid head for very smooth tilt and pan movements. the head also has a quick release plate. the legs are very sturdy and the height is an adjustable length from 84cm to a massive 1.84m which is great when in a crowd or hide location.
It can deal with a reasonable 17.6lbs in weight so most cameras (DSLR's Camcorders etc)
This is not a lightweight carbon tripod so expect the weight that is needed for the stability of the tripod.
My only criticisms are firstly the spirt bubble on the head for checking level placement are obscured but the camera when fitted and are not that easy to check when no camera fitted. The legs are sturdy enough being made from a light alloy however the clips to fasten the legs at a particular height are made of plastic this may become a problem after constant use. But thats a maybe not a certainty.
This is a great trip pod with loads of good features I especially think the fluid filled head for dampening movement is a good quality for this price .. I would happily recommend this tripod.
