I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of this tripod, for the price you get a lot of value. I used it with my Canon EOS 750DThe main body is aluminium which makes it resistant and strong whilst also lightweight. Some of the more expensive options use Carbon Fibre which is much lighter, but I find the compromise to be sufficient. The other components are made of rubber and plastic on the end tips and other intricate areas.When extended, this tripod can reach 2 metres in height, which is on par with many of the high-end models and opens you up to an extended rage of shooting opportunities versus a shorter tripod. When deploying the tripod, you can use the rubber feet on solid surfaces or remove them to use the spikes in grassy or softer surfaces. Each leg is adjustable individually which allows for deployment on uneven surfaces, it stays very sturdy and rigid in the position you want it to be. To help you with this, it has a small integrated spirit level which aids you in finding the perfect balance.The ball head is Arca-Swiss, and the plate is compatible, so you have some flexibility when it comes to using different components. The legs of the tripod have strong clamps to secure it into position, this is very easy to use when deploying and takes a lot of time out of screwing them. It is able to compact into a fraction of the size when deployed, making it easier to carry around and store in smaller spaces.The included carry bag is very strong and provides padding and multiple compartments to protect the tripod and also store additional items. It has a shoulder strap and a handle which make it very easy to carry and travel with.Overall, this tripod punches above its weight and is in direct competition with the high end models, it is great for beginners and the experienced alike and there are no compromises in the quality.
