Study and well made for the price but the 'manual' is useless.
I have just received the tripod and haven't used it yet just gone through the motions of setting it up. First thing I found is the so called manual doesn't help a bit. I detached the monopod leg but the rhread on top is too big for the camera. After mucking around I found that the ball head unscrews disclosing a threaded piece that screws into the mono pod top complete with ball head to which the camera can be fixed via the quick release plate. I have always used a quick release plate on other tripods and have just ordered a spare for this one although at £19 is ridiculously expensive. Th extending arm is very useful for taking tabletop photos but I have found unless it is straight out it cannot be clamped tight and will flop down with the weight of the camera, That's the down side. The up side is that it is solid, can be extended to the height required easily, and seems it will satisfy all my needs. There is a utube video which helps a lot.
