Really good versatile tripod, and tall, pretty sturdy yet light so inherently not as sturdy as heavy tripods, however it’s one of the sturdiest lightweight tripods I’ve ever used. And the versatility, being able to turn the top bar 90 degrees to shoot overhead or also essentially switch to vertical mode and still have fluid head movement. Lots of little knobs to loosen and tighten, when tightened it’s great but you can kinda overlook some since it’s like a pipe in a pipe plus a hinge, so be sure to double & triple check the tightness cause I had a few moments where it’d be rattling except it’d just be one of the knobs easily tightened. The mount plate is kinda goofy (proprietary? Too narrow for manfrotto and arca swiss *edit: it is arca Swiss, I was mistaken*) but interestingly enough it’s such a thin and solid plate I was able to incorporate it into my rail-based cage mount system I use for a cage and shoulder rig etc, putting this tripod’s mount underneath my custom-built rail-based cage mount, so for my use it unlocked the potential of this tiny tripod head integrating better with my whole cage systems… very interesting how it’s just become my goto tripod for a lot of different things. Great tripod, well worth it. Get one, you will find good use of this in some way. I even used it as my flash tripod sometimes for photoshoots on a trip to Cancun, so it travels well too with a bag that has a handle and strap. Oh and that’s right, it’s good for photoshoots flash light stand essentially, plus it can get a light above your head as you shoot using the 90 degree angle and the tall height like a lil boom arm putting a (lightweight unless you reinforce/countereight) flash up above you as you shoot from below the flash and not even really ducking (unless using a big softbox, I just had a speedlite with a lame basic dome diffuser). It’s also great it as a fluid head tripod for video, and great for product photography getting the camera above a product as well as overhead shot like in desk vlog content. It’s just a great tripod period, then it’s a bonus that it’s good value for the money too. 5 outta 5 stars, for sure.
