Works great for macro photography as it is very versatile in the various positions you can mount your camera. You can get your camera extremely low to the ground but without having to splay out the tripod legs over a large surface area. If you have to get into a small nook to get that shot, this tripod does a great job. I would not consider it to be light tripod or quick to set up. It's probably not going to be the tripod I carry around for travel but it folds up into a very small (and nice) bag if you intend to travel with it.

I've had a few different tripods over the years at different price points but this is by far the best!Being a wedding and lifestyle photographer I use it in so many different settings and it doesn't fail! Each leg is individually adjustable meaning no matter the terrain you can make it level and sturdy.I love that all the connectors move so smoothly and the whole kit is incredibly robust and yet very lightweight. It all folds up neatly into the one bag/case that I've shown in the photos.The top arm can extend to a 90 degree angle which is brilliant for taking photos of flat lays etc without the legs of the tripod being in shot.Another little extra that I like is a small spirit level on the top connector just so you can make sure everything is level before you attach your camera.The tripod has a wieght hook underneath for added sturdiness in extreme conditions and one of the legs also detaches to become a monopod!Overall this tripod is an excellent bit of kit and I have been very impressed with every aspect of it especially at under £100!So if you're looking for a reliable and versatile tripod this is the one for you!

Very sturdy aluminum chasis. Love the dark color in contrast with the orange. Very easy to set up just pull the legs out and set it on the floor. Likewise can be folded back and comes with a small nice bag to carry in. Height can be adjusted. Holds my nikon d7500 very well and can be rotated all around.

Really liked this tripod for its built quality. This is really sturdy and rotation feels very smooth at all of the sections, the ball head have very smooth 360 rotation. The mount plate is very easy to attach and detach for dslr. I used this with my canon dslr and took many night photos with higher shutter speed and all my photos does not have any blurr as there were some time when it was windy but it holds very well. This tripod is very light weight and carry will be easy during travelling. Opening and setting it up does not take much time as its very portable and it is easy to understand all its knobs without the instruction manual. I have not checked its manual yet but after one use I know all the functions easily as the knob position is easy to know which function it is going to control. Also with 360 rotation option and that is very smooth transition, the video do not have any shaking or tearing effect. Overall I really liked this tripod for its price range and portability and light weight design. Good buy

Not had it long but it seems sturdy and well made. This is the first tripod I've had with a ball type fitting at the head. I must admit I'm not that keen, my camera with a telephoto lens fell forward (pointing to the ground) because I hadn't tightened it enough. With my old tripod that couldn't happen. This was my fault though and I'll have to get used to it. Just to add. With a heavy telephoto lens it's not so good. When mounted, the ball section is rigid enough but where the top section fits into the platform, it wobbles. So not the ball joint itself but where it's attached to the platform. This can be tightened I've since found, with the provided allen key.

Used for airshow photography and converting paper photos to digital thanks to the cross arm

It’s a very good tripod, but I would have liked it to raise a little higher on the legs so you don’t have to use the centre column so often. It is easy to clean and lightweight.

Wow! That should say it all. This is the best tripod I have ever owned. My Manfrotto is going on Gumtree. Sorry Manny. I've also got a no name pan and tilt that doesn't even come close. I am 100 percent happy with it. The articulated boom is something I never thought I would need, now I don't know how I managed without it. A great buy at an unbelievable price.
