Over the recent few months I have been getting increasingly into photography and videography. I have predominantly used my smart phone alongside a gimbal to start and improve the quality of my family videos and photos. Over this period I have also invested in a number of additions such as lights and microphones. Needless to say, on my Christmas list I have asked for an upgrade, a nice big expensive high-quality cameraIn anticipation of getting a new camera I have decided to invest now (whilst I have some spare cash) in accessories that will support me in the New Year. Although I have not yet got my new camera I have been able to make good use of these new items one of which was this quality tripod.The tripod comes well packaged in a fabric case which personally I always think speaks volumes about the quality. The case is slightly padded, to protect the tripod when being stored or transported.The tripod itself folds away very nicely and quite compactly. In order to use the functionalities of the tripod each of the legs foldout 180 degrees and then can extend an exceptionally long amount. I didn’t realise how long these legs would be when I bought this item, the tripod extends higher than me and I am almost 6 foot. When fully set up the tripod is a very sturdy and does not wobble, given that each of the legs can extend to different amounts this is ideal for uneven surfaces. The camera, or Gimble in my case, secures in by screw and there is also a levelling thing (I don’t know the name of them, but it has water in with a bubble to tell you if the camera is level). Finally at the very top is a ball and socket joint which lets you make any final adjustments that you would need to to your photography equipment.The tripod is very, very lightweight. It feels good quality, it looks good quality, and I would go to say, as an amateur, that the tripod feels like a premium product. I think for the price paid it is really good value and I would recommend this to people in a similar position to myself who are looking to buy a tripod.I have added a picture so that potential buyers can see how tall this thing actually is.
