I bought this to record overhead videos. It's a more practical solution than hanging a camera at the bottom of a tripod centre column (which this tripod can also do).
I have recorded three or videos with it so far. I would have liked the horizontal column to be slightly longer, but overall it's excellent. I'm really pleased as it is going to allow me to set up a more practical overhead camera rig.
In my attached video I show you how it can work, but I'm still playing with the setup. I may sit the tripod off from the other side of my table and hang it over the other way. I have a few options.
The overall package is good. The included case is high quality and comes with a shoulder strap. A simple manual and an allen key are provided as well.
Although I have only had the tripod a few days, it is clear that it is built to last. The legs and centre column are all solid. The horizontal column can spin around 360 degrees, but you may find the tripod becomes unstable if you have the column fully extended.
The ballhead is also high quality and wll be able to hold all the cameras I have.
Check out my video to see how the tripod works in more detail and be sure to post any questions about anything I did not cover :)

Excellent product, stable and smooth to use.
A bit heavier than I expected, but this seems to be a very solid bit of kit.

Have not tried this product out officially but I’ve tested it out at home and it’s very versatile and I’m very excited to properly use this!! Worth every penny!

Really impressed with the versatility of this tripod, and the stability in most configurations. If you are shooting portrait with a heavier body (I often shoot with a Canon 5D and 24-105 f4L), get an L bracket as the ball head won't be able to take the weight.
