This is a quality proiduct. My old tripod had plastic parts that wore out with wear. I am expecting years of use with this one! I also like the fact that you can use the same tripod to take flat lay photography (you don't have to buy a separate stand for the camera.)

First of all, let me just say that I am super happy with this tripod! It is well designed, and you can tell a lot of thought was put into how to make a solid, useful tool. The materials are outstanding! It is hard to find knobs that are anything but plastic when dealing with tripods, and they can easily break with a lot of use. These are aluminum, which can be expected to hold up to some abuse out on a shoot.

The positioning has a range of height and other options, including using it as a monopod. It is simple to use and snap into whatever place you need to use it for. It has good balance, and the pivot ball gives super smooth motion. I really enjoy the multiple height options for shot setup! It is also super lightweight for taking with pretty much anywhere, and comes with a solid carrying case for just that purpose.

Feels sturdy and balanced even when towering to 230 cm.
Being this tall I was concerned it would be very big and uncomfortable to carry around, but to my surprise it folds neatly and was easier to carry around than our previous tripod.

The 90 degree angle allowed us to use it for overhead shots - extending the arm for as further as possible does require a counter weight to make sure the tripod and the camera don't tip over.

The arca swis mount made it very easy to mount and dismount with our peak design camera clip.

I have a small carbon fiber tripod that I like to take with me on most trips, but wanted to use it for home, around town and mountain trips. There are several features that I love about this tripod and that makes it unique even though I already own two other tripods.

First of all I'm 1.85m tall so I love that this tripod can be extended well beyond my height. I plan to use it even for unique overhead shots as I can trigger my shutter with an app (I usually use a Sony A7RIII.. a Canon 5D Mark III is in the photo).

Secondly, the monopod function is fantastic. You just unscrew one leg and that's where the bar attaches to the head and you screw it together. I wanted a monopod that could support some weight and this fills that need.

Third, and the main reason I wanted it, is that it can be used for overhead shooting (my attached photo has a quick example of how this works... sorry for the old iPhone image quality). I occasionally review tech gear for Youtube so my iPhone or Canon can be used for overhead shots while I use the Sony for head-on video on one of my less capable tripods.

I think the only thing I don't know right now is how well it will work, but I'll update it if I have problems. I would also like to note that my girlfriend liked the look. I think the orange parts of the tripod are attractive compared to the typical all black designs on my other tripods.

All in all, this fulfills so many needs for my regular home use that my travel tripod can usually just be left in my pocket.

I do some social media content which involves making video clips both inside and outside. I had cheap tripods and selfie sticks before buying this. Great quality and love how high this goes to take pictures above content. Highly recommend, make the purchase.

This tripod is very light for its size. It is extremely stable. It had no issues supporting my camera with 100-200mm + 2.0X converter on it. It is very easy to use and I thought the price was very reasonable for the quality of this product. I am very happy with this purchase.

Easy to use, adjust, carry. Very sturdy.

Hello dear buyer, my current rating is not a rating for professionals. I bought an expensive tripod based on the "higher price - better quality" logic. And I was not disappointed. I'm perfectly satisfied. Sincerely Nicolas E.

This is the tallest tripod I've found! The tripod is solid! The price is very good for the size, robustness and features it offers. The bag it came with to carry it is solid too! It's light enough to take with you anywhere, yet sturdy enough that I wouldn't be nervous about setting my DSLR on it. Another great feature is that it has a hook to attach something heavy. This also improves the stability of the tripod by adding weight when needed. I could hang my camera backpack there and it would work well to hold the bag and keep it stable. I've had more than my fair share of clueless people choosing to standing right in front of my camera so that I can get a nice shot of the back of their head, for example, when I'm shooting videos of, for example, a band or entertainment on a stage. This will fix that issue as at its max height it is much taller than an average German. So yay! The price is also great for what you get! Thumbs up!
(PS: I plan to take some Christmas photos around Christmas time.)

I didn’t realize that tripods could be so expensive, but I guess it’s one of those items that speak true of you get what you pay for! A cheap camera tripod that we just purchased a couple of years ago recently broke, so we decided to invest in a heavy-duty professional tripod. One that would be durable enough to last us for years to come and be able to hold our camcorder and also be compatible with our mirrorless camera and a DSLR camera in case we decide to get one in the future. We wanted to get a reliable tripod in time to capture footage to see the Neowise Comet which only orbits the sun every 7000 years, so it’s a once in a lifetime experience. Unfortunately it was too hazy and there were too many clouds the two times that we drove out to the mountains, but this tripod held up like a champ in the 50 degree Fahrenheit cold weather and windy conditions. The instructions say not to use this in temperatures below minus 40 degrees or higher than 100 degrees.The tripod is made of sturdy aluminum alloy tubes. The KF-28 metal ball head provides a maximum load capacity of 22 pounds and can be rotated 360 degrees which can easily hold a heavy DSLR camera and makes for excellent panoramic shooting. Make sure not to exceed the maximum specified load. This tripod is easy to set up simply by flipping the legs the opposite way and using the clamps to secure in place. There are four (4) leg sections and the knob allows you to adjust the height. The height with the two (2) center sections column can be extended to 93.8 inches which is pretty tall and makes it good for taking large group photos from an overview vantage point. The height without the column reaches 67.7 inches. There is also a detachable lightweight monopod that can extend to 98.4 inches for your different photography needs. For panoramic shots, the central column moves from 0 to 180 degrees and can be rotated 360 degrees horizontally.This also comes with a nice, durable carrying case to keep your tripod protected and makes it portable for travel. The case also has a strap that you can use to carry on your shoulder for better convenience. My only gripe is the weight. Since this is so heavy duty, this weighs a little over six (6) pounds which is heavier than most tripods, but this is definitely the nicest tripod we’ve owned and you can tell from the high quality and detail. When my husband uses it to take footage with our camcorder, it is very stable and I’m sure this will last us for many years!
