Balance between lightness and stability at a very competitive price
Pleasantly surprised with the features of this tripod, a great balance between lightness and robustness, without sacrificing versatility and at a tremendously competitive price.

This aluminum tripod weighs around one and a half kilos, however offers great stability. It is very comfortable to carry, both in the folded and unfolded position and the pack includes a thick and sturdy material bag to carry the tripod.

The legs have 3 removable sections, of a considerable thickness all of them, fastened with the clamp system. Even with the fully extended tripod they offer great stretchability. The clamps are very comfortable to open and close and allow you to remove and collect the legs very quickly.

The opening angle of the legs has 4 adjustable positions from the lever on each leg:
1-In folded mode, the legs are upside down, open 180°.
2-In normal mode, from the folded mode we stretch the legs and they lock automatically in an opening range of approximately 0 to 30°.
3-With the above tabs we can open the legs more, around 45° or 60°.
4- The eyelashes allow us to put the legs parallel to the floor, open 90°.

Versatility is another strong point. The central bar is extendable and also mobile and reversible, to get shots on the ground. This center bar includes a hook to hang weight and increase stability. With the tripod fully extended, we can lift and extend the center bar, at the cost of sacrificing some stability, reaching a height similar to that of my standing vision.

Another peculiar feature is that one of its legs can be unscrewed and curled to the central bar to turn it into a monopod.

In short, I especially appreciate that it does not have the two problems that my old travel tripod had from a famous brand of tripods: the camera is well held and stable (load up to 10kg), and the final legs are not so thin as to cause lack of stability by bending.

It will certainly be my new travel tripod and also daily in indoor photography, we will see how it can withstand continued use, but the feeling is very good.
