I was looking to upgrade my tripod for quite some time now and planned to order this one and use. I must admit I am happy with my decision. Below are the details:

1. The snap locking mechanism in this tripod is really useful and you can adjust the height comfortably based on the available surface. Also, there are 3 different levels to lock the angle of the legs of this tripod (See attached photo). Just that these angle snappers are of okay quality but should work as long as used with care.

2. Build quality is good and this one sturdy. Can be used in winds and has a hook below the central pipe to add some weight to keep the tripod steady.

3. Height - The height of this tripod is really good, specially when compared with my old tripod which was a 3.5 ft portable one. This one is tall and can be adjusted at different levels yet is not very heavy to carry around.

4. The panoramic ball head is very useful if you like to click timelapses or panorama shots.

5. This tripod comes with a good quality bag and a separate cover for the head mount to avoid any scratches on the tripod legs when folded. There is also a tool to tighten the screws if any become loose.

6. The color scheme is subtle and it’s a good-looking, portable product.

Overall I’d say the build quality is not like that of the carbon fibre tripods but really good given the price it comes at and the accessories it comes with. I’ve used it for about a month now and will update the review if I find something new over time.
