The most important thing for me was that the tripod fit inside the Lowepro Pro Trekker BP 450 AW II mega backpack. And it was perfect for this. The tripod is very good for taking photos, but for video, especially at 100% height, if you turn the zoom ring, change the aperture, etc., there is jitter, especially at 50mm and above. That is, if you have pressed "rec", it is better not to touch the camera. I have a slightly loose clamp ring, but I found a solution by inserting a piece of paper into the hole. Maybe it's just me that got it. In general, summarizing I will say. This is a nice, compact travel tripod that fits inside a backpack. They can also shoot video, but do not extend the main rod to a great height if you change the zoom and change when recording is on. I would give it 4.5 stars, but since there is no such option, and I'm a positive person, I put 5 :) Read more
When the tripod that I bought in 1965 lost a key element of one leg's locking mechanism while I was in the woods I went shopping for a new one. This product is the one I decided on based on the feature description, it's weight, and what seemed to be it's ability to adapt to any surface and terrain. I wasn't disappointed. I've taken it into the field twice now without problems. I haven't used the unipod feature since I have a good unipod I use when I need one. That said, I have disassembled the unit to extract the unipod. It comes apart smoothly and goes back together the same way. I would buy this product again if I needed a second tripod. Read more
One of the clips on the leg turned out to be defective. Read more
I think the first thing I noticed about this was that it has such a solid feel - like an expensive Manfrotto tripod. It came packaged well in a durable case with attachments for SLRs or Phones. The legs are sturdy with locking mechanisms and adaptable to a tripod, monopod, or even an upside down tripod that lets the camera “hang” from the middle of the legs. Definitely impressed with the durability on this - I’ve even used it to hold an 18” ring light. This was a great find! Read more
I do Real Estate Photography + whatever else I enjoy shooting on a nikon D7200 and this tripod is perfect for it all so far. Jam packed with features: lightweight, ball joint head, hook at the bottom for either weights or accessories, locking legs with 3 different levels both in angle and length, that also fold all the way up for storability, 2 different levels for both orientations, nice 360 degree swivel with markings, etc etc. Holds my Camera super still even at max height though I’ve never used it at the max because it’s above 6’. For the Price I don’t think I Read more
I like that this is light and so compact that fits on my carryon bag with lots of options on versatility of usage as a photographer this what I'm looking for in awhile plus you have a monopad option and with added phone attachments for easy use.. You really can't go wrong. I thought it was hard at first but when you've other tripod you'll be able to work with this like a charm... I can't wait to bring this on my next travel shoots. Read more
I needed a lightweight tripod with all the bells and whistles for my recent hunting trip. Straight out of the box I knew this was going to work great! I love the little hook underneath when you set it up, you can hang a backpack or anything else to make it more sturdy! The legs extend plenty long enough to glass while standing, sitting or in any position! It's not that heavy but does add some weight to the pack. My spotting scope was steady and the tripod did it's job all weekend! Read more
I have a pile of broken Tripods due to my attempts of being a YouTube content creator while shooting outdoors and in a garage. This is by far the most sturdy unit yet. Will buy more Read more
