The tripod adopts a reverse folding design, which is very convenient to store. The folded size is only 43mm, which is convenient for photographers to carry when traveling or shooting outdoors.

For the same size tripod,carbon fiber will weigh about 30% less than aluminum alloy, and its strength will be higher, and it will not rust. But the value is also higher.

Yes most definitely. This tripod allows a lot of heights and multi directions

The central post does not pivot, so the answer is pretty much no. That said, the ball head does have a slot to allow for portrait orientation. You can turn the camera downwards and achieve a straight down shot, but the legs of the tripod may not work well for this and you may get some of the post.

That's how I used it. I put it on a table and shot overhead video. So yes you can.
