    I'm embarrassed to admit it took me a few uses to figure out there is a little notch on the head that allows the camera to be positioned vertically or pointing straight up, but once I made that discovery I have no complaints. It's really light weight, stable, and easy to use. Highly recommended!

    I wanted a tripod that was sturdy but also light/compact for travelling. It will fit in most carry-on bags which I wanted for travelling abroad. I also like using it for hiking and astrophotography because I don't like lugging my larger tripod around.

    This is my first quality tripod. I have no regrets buying this. This was one of the best investments I have purchased for my camera. I have Nikon d810, and this tripod holds it solidly with no worries. I have used this in various terrains with no issues with stability. I’ve used it during windy times and have had no issues with movement. I do extended exposure photos and this has worked like a champ! I highly recommend! I got the blue color and it’s a beauty!

    I did a lot of research for great compact travel tripods since I love to hike and explore outdoors, carrying the big one I have gets tiresome quickly. I use a Sony a7r iii with a 16-35 GM and the 24-70 GM. It can support the weight, but ball head does take some adjusting to compensate for it. The plate needs to be affixed to the camera very firmly to reduce movement, not the easiest plate to screw/unscrew, but so far it's doing ok. Wish it was clip locks instead of twist locks.

    This tripod is probably the best I've used. It can be transformed into a monopod and is really sturdy. I am so glad that I've decided to get this tripod/monopod combo!

    The tripod looks beautiful. Looks to be well made. Have only used it a few times so far. It appears to be solid. Haven't had any stability issues. Nothing has come loose like other reviewers have experienced. Still trying to get used to the methods of deploying the legs. I don't have a huge camera (Fuji X-T2), so the weight capacity doesn't bother me. Overall, of day this was a good buy. I would definitely recommend to others if they're looking for a fairly compact, lightweight tripod.

    I did a lot of research and landed on this one, it's great for photos but probably not the best option for video since there's no fluid head but you can alway pack one since it's the universal tripod mount size if you want to swap it out. Very sturdy and I can't wait to bring it with my in two week to Jamaica to test it out. It does fit in my suitcase no problem.

    A lot more than I was expecting at this price point. The head is excellent and maintains adjustments. Very flexible usage scenarios, and the vernier scale is a nice feature for building high resolution panoramas, ensuring good overlap for stitching composite images. Excellent fit and finish, and very portable and stable platform.
