Rollei C5i Carbon

Pros: - Competitive price-quality ratio- A perfect second battle tripod to spend the right and take it a bit 'everywhere (because compact, lightweight, sufficiently stable and without being too many worries of mind for a tripod that costs instead half salary)

Cons: - Maybe it is not the ideal tool to take on a challenging journey to very remote places where a potential break could be really problematic (however it is a rebranded Chinese and not a Gitzo) rnrn- Really minimalistic and simplistic design of the central cruise but in general the various Chinese, including Genesis C3 and C5 or Rollei c6i and rock solid beta, however, all appear very similar so it's not that I had great alternatives; in reality these with the one-piece cruise and the well-accessible visible screws would seem even simpler to adjust if necessary.

Opinion: I compared it, alone at home, with tripods already in my possession: obviously the direct comparison with Manfrotto 055 and 410jr is not even feasible but between this and my Velbon Ultra Rexi L aluminum with an economic Chinese head I would say that in terms stability certainly wins the Rollei. rnThe benefits of the carbon feel all: to the sight would seem more stable my Velbon aluminum but in reality with the live view of the 5D2 known that this carbon dampens decidedly earlier and drier the vibrations. rnFor the Rollei C5i is, head included, 1330g against the two poor Kg of aluminum Velbon with Chinese head. rnThe base measures are similar but the Rollei has the possibility to bend the legs then to 180 winning also in terms of compactness during transport. I tried it with the 5D2 and a 300/4 (2.4 Kg in all) fixing the machine to the head with the heavy 300/4 completely cantilevered (an improbable condition and a bit 'from ×) and still holds it firmly. rnrn Tell him that Rollei sells himand to 149.99 inclusive of ball head, bag, keys and bonnet for monopod: rnhttps: //it.rollei.com/products/treppiedi/treppiedi/rollei-c5i-carbonio,p313109
