The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Especially resistant to the clamping system (those closures do not crack even if you want), all in all a reliable product over time.
Cons:Price, legs with games between sections especially lower, last section really too fine, the legs come off (I had to glue them), too often enters sand - soil - mud between the sections, relatively low, offers little for the price it has.
Opinion:Taken, two years ago, this tripod without the head (I used a Benro N2): at first glance everything is very nice, well structured. Not really very compact even about the fact that, however, it is not a tripod that reaches great heights. He suffers great weight especially if everything is open and if you shoot on windy days (I recommend not to overdo the opening of all sections). The shock-proof rubber pad on the central column is very sensible, much less the rubber stopper that came off a thousand times and I lost it in the end. The system that allows you to switch on the opening angle of the legs was not bad but also suffers from any deposits - debris and sometimes it was difficult to change the opening of the legs, especially in situations such as the rocks.rnFor that price, today (but maybe even a few years ago), he finds himself much better, but it's not too bad. Recommended more for low-weight mirrorless / aps-c / fullframe with low weight optics. Not recommended for astroinseguimenti even if you have astroinseguitorthe light or onboard systems (like the pentax): just a simple gust of wind against you and you will find the stars by way of electrocardiogram .. last thing: for the weight that it should hold more .. materials used malino !!
Pros:Excellent value for money; stable with most optics (except big enough); measures contained, excellent adaptability in different situations.
Cons:Vibe a bit in different situations, but all in all there can be; a bit heavy.
Opinion:Great in many situations, I've been using it for 6 years and I have to say I never gave you any problems. Do not miss Manfrotto MH293A3 head ... with this head you miss some time with adjustments, which often do not show up fairly fluid, but all in all is a great compromise for a handyman. rnSets a range of settings that are fairly wide in height and lends itself well on several occasions. fnUnica fails: it does not have excellent stability, but it still manages to satisfy those who are at first weapons. rnI recommend for those looking for a good stand at a low price.
Cons:Last section too fine, if loaded to the usage limit allowed vibrates.
Opinion:I use it for about 5 years with a ball head SIRUI k 30 and Nikon D 5100 with kit lenses, 18, 55 and 55 200 theater and external macro photo portraits and landscapes, and I must say that has always served me very well without too much trouble the i always carry with me on vacation and never have any kind of problem, though rnOra who made a quantum leap with a D7200 and objectives f 2.8 began on the problems moved, the camera body sigma 50 150 f 2.8 os about 2, 5 kg weight therefore still far from 4 kg reported when shooting a burst of 3-4 pictures, you can clearly see that the machine starts to dance the tarantella, so I had to replace it with a 055 I is yet to come ..... .
Pros:Stability, construction materials, solid, heavy usage without worries
Cons:Last section fine, column positioned vertically only
Opinion:I use it intensively for two years now (with head MG460), I bought it for about 110 € .rnNon has never disappointed me, exceptional stability, I used on sand, mud, dust, filled with salt, beaten almost anywhere and still it works as it should! :) RnrnLe 3 legs are two ways of opening a standard and the other a little more enlarged to further decrease the minimum distance from terra.rnLa column can be unscrewed and reversed "upside down" in a couple of occasions I was useful this feature (you can however reverse the position from vertical to horizontal) rnMateriali construction excellent, allowing intensive use without worries, when paired with a quality head becomes truly exceptional and very suitable for the landscape genre. rnrnNon very suitable for macro for its "rigidity" overall, but still you can not tame it with a little experience
