So my wife likes to do YouTube blogs and I like to do photography, as in outdoor photography. Now this arrived recently and I went to test it out. Upon seeing it her eyes lit up and she immediately stuck her selfie light on it and started commenting on how the ball joint is exactly what she needs to to get more flexibility over her filming. I explained that it was bought for me doing photography shots but so far I find myself unable to get it out of the house.It's a great tripod and looks the part, but aswell as looking the part it's also great the purpose. It's very compact having 4 leg sections instead of 3, it's very sturdy when setup and the ball join really does allow you so much more control over your shorts. The adjustment fittings are excellent quality and all in it's a really well made tripod and in my opinion very reasonable priced.Great purchase, love it and will probably buy another.

I don't know what I expected with this really, but having now used it for a while I thought I'd write a review.First off, it is a reasonable height, folds to a very compact size, is lightweight and fairly sturdy with my Panasonic G9 and even the long 100-300 zoom lens fully extended. It does feel a little rough around the edges in some parts if you compare it to a £300 product, but how can you complain at this price. The Ball-head is good, not brilliant but it does the job. It's fully arca-swiss compatible and takes my Peak Design capture plates perfectly. And of course you can replace the head if you like.It comes in a neat bag with the head covered by a velvet bag. One minus point - there is no pocket in the bag to hold the allen key, tripod mount, double connector and small extension tube which are supplied. That means they can be easily lost. I keep them in the velvet bag and leave parts at home unless I think I'll be using them. The monopod option is great and works well but you will need some of the parts in the bag so again - a pocket would have made it perfect. Then again, you can buy tripod bags separatelyThis tripod has so many features and functions, and whilst it is a little clumsy and fiddly in how it does them - it does do them! Again, at the price you can't complain. You can invert the central column for working close to the ground, or swing it perpendicular to the ground for top down product shots. The legs are individually adjustable so even on uneven ground you can get it level. When you clamp the camera into a certain position there is a little movement so you do have to be careful and adjust a couple of times to get the perfect framing - this is a sign of the cheaper product but again it is minor.I also wanted a travel tripod but to be honest I'm struggling to find one which packs more compactly than this (39cm) or is significantly lighter (1.6Kg - 1638 grams to be precise) even when looking at carbon fibreOverall, I'd happily stand this up against products twice the price, or even more. A slightly better bag and slightly better ballhead would make this the product of the year for sure.

Good bit of kit. Could be a little sturdier for the money. No instructions of how to use over arm or attachment

Amazing product

What I like with this product is you can use it to get a view of the image down below. Very stable and can be turned 360 degrees. It has a carrier bag that you can use to transport the tripod conveniently. Weight wise, you need to consider if you are carrying it for long time as it gets heavy if carried for a while.

Great in this price range

This is definitely a perfect buy!

I was looking for a tripod to replace my old one, as it was having stability problems. I found this one while searching for one and after looking at the reviews, I decided to give it a try.Honestly, it's amazing! It's a tripod, a monopod, it also has a vertical/horizontal camera holder, weight hook, and the legs can be reversed for better portability. Only downside in this is probably the weight, which is just a bit heavier than usual. However, I think that for the price that is being asked, it's hard to find something better. It's pros outweight the cons a lot. I am very satisfied with this product, as it fills every need I had while looking for a new tripod and I recommend it for anyone - begginer or professional!

Very good tripod for your camera!!! I have a Nikon D5200 and it has been alread a good companion for my trip in Australia. Used in windy and dirty situations also used to carry with me along my walks in its case with strap. Very easy to carry and quick to deploy, sill sturdy and able to lock your camera in windy weather. I didn’t use properly the orizzontal boom yet, but I found it very easy to use and very usefull for tutorial on table or for macro photos. The opportunity to loock the camera in a specific position, and still move it in orizzontal way, it’s usefull for pano or wide seen, but also feels like an hydraulic movement as it’s so smooth.
