for the price (about 150$) this a really nice tripod.
on the the other way you can say it is a cheap chinese copy of a well known manufacturer, so you get what you pay for. I got three of them and i would buy more if needed. using it with sony FX1 and EX1. the only advice is to buy the extended version (about 170$) , since the regular version is a bit short (but not more than every tripod in the same range). add too the 2nd handle and the camera plate since it is a custom version that could be hard to find if you loose it. |
