This support is for what it is – a very light weight, relatively stable head high. Good for mobility. If you want a good vibration damping, and more sophisticated pan, tilt movement mechanism then you have to go so much taller and heavier. When you fast, easy and pretty good – I recommend this tripod. One of the older guests (since 2001) complained about cheap plastic screws, etc. This has been true for earlier versions of this tripod – the upstream links are now working out Metall.Ich use this tripod to the vision of the computer where receive data from several times to collect. For this, its great because I can move and change quickly. If I’m going to do, hiking and nature photography, where I moved a lot, I recommend this for the same reason. The legs adjust from a quick on / off terminals. Screws stem above and below – you can also loosen the screw and just tear up and down for quick changes. There is a level on a tripod to keep oriented. Despite how easy this stand, it is better vibration damping, a few other inexpensive aluminum, I’ve got it, you versucht.Wenn a super-high zoom camera on a high-end, you probably need more cushioning the tripod can offer a fast shots. I used it for precise photometric vision and had to point 2 SLR shuttering: Lift the mirror, wait, open the shutter, since the mirror will be felt shaking caused quite a lift. But that was very high zoom (400x) on a high-end camera. Rating: 5 / 5

I use a tripod for a rare 4-5 years. I like its light weight and handy quick release. The weight is associated with costs. When the handle broke off, because I remember packing, which is collapsing. Luckily I found the number for customer service Velbon, kostenlos.In sent me the replacement by-step instructions on this month, after a few family photos I had to close her legs and one hand fast-aircraft broke a leg that blocks slid out of the quadriceps and small pieces of black plastic fell out of the hole. The bracket was broken and the leg does not work (falls, or off). The legs and the terminals are on a small piece of plastic, which is probably always ab.Robust brittle after only a few years it is not. Just because it may contain ~ 6kg/15lbs robust, does not make. Nice quality be different? Yes, perhaps, reflected in the price? Maybe. . Now I am without a tripod, trying to decide if I will be able to solve this problem or buy another. This review is actually stand for the CX-680 (with QB-5LC & PH-468), which includes discontinued wird.Hakuba sales in the United States and service on this stand and two types of service are the champions of two problems I’ve had. No chance. Rating: 3 / 5

This is not my primary tripod. It will be used for the binoculars, while traveling to the telescope and is probably quite easy to carry in a backpack. Strudy enough, but faults directly to the main connection. The quick release shoe is a small piece of plastic stand with a plastic cam instead. 1 / 4 “x20 screw is binocs (binoculars with adapter) or a camera or a small telescope is put to a small button under the plastic quick release shoe before the shoe is locked to the tripod head with cam . This small knob is too small for his fingers tight, and you need a coin, do not use a screwdriver to tighten securely. You always lose more. The lightest most compact, stable tripod is not good if the device does not is firmly fixed and are thus part through a session of vibrating loose and runs on one side, requiring the release of the shoe and the screw retighteneing ….
