Since I had three Manfrotto easels, the first impression, I admit, was not exciting.
The easel is made of 70% plastic, which made me turn up my nose. The fixed ones that block the movement of the legs, until they are tight, produce a plastic rattle that makes you think of everything, except quality.

But then I had the opportunity to use it for a photo shoot.
I had also brought a Manfrotto easel with me, for safety, I admit it.
Using it, I was able to appreciate the lower weight, the adjustable feet that adapt to the inclination of the floor, the hardness and strength of the fixed ones, which once fixed no longer make any noise, and the joint of the plate that allows the camera to be placed vertically, a feature that is not uncommon, but not that common either.
The overall result was really satisfactory and I had to change my mind, all the more so considering the very low cost in the equation.

So, I'm not telling you to buy it as if it were a 300€ easel, but... If you are a beginner, or you have back problems and carrying a 3 kg easel with you creates problems, or you already know that you are working in a condition where there is no risk of someone hitting the machine, this product may be for you.
I can imagine it also used by some landscape photographer who wants to take it to the high mountains, the savings in terms of weight are significant and yet it allows them to take their work home.

I repeat again, the five stars that I give to this product are not to say that it is equal to a quality professional easel, but considering the price and the light materials of which it is made, I must say that it convinced me, and therefore I can only recommend it to those who for whatever reason must give up carrying a more stable but also much heavier easel or must play it with a very limited budget.
