This is a great travel Tripod for me. I'm really happy with it.The quality of this tripod is really impressive. when taken out of the box, you're introduced to the thick and durable carry case in which the tripod lies. The body of the tripod feels strong and robust. I believe its made of aluminium, when pulling out the legs they click in to place letting you know how far you have pulled them out and gives you a sense of security, knowing that this isn't going to fold in. each click and clip feels like its permanent, (until you want to change it)The body is made of aluminium so it's light and durable. You can carry it with one hand or even attach it to your own backpack or camera bag.The head is very straight forward to use, the ball joint at the top lets you have the camera in any position you desire. you can turn from landscape to portrait in seconds.This tripod goes as high as 62" which is almost as tall as me, (i'm 6ft) but as it extends to this height, it does then start to get a little weak, but it can be weighed down with a camera bag hook at the bottom. The Tripod can have all its legs at 90 degrees and and get really low.Overall this tripod is strong and durable for most and everyday camera usage and Ideal for any photographer looking for a compact tripod solution.
