Pros:compactness and lightness, strength, maximum and minimum height, carbon fiber, value for money (especially in Amazon's guaranteed used)
Cons:for what it costs, I would say absolutely nothing! It's obviously not suitable for extreme photo spots, but otherwise it's more than fine
Opinion:I bought this tripod on Amazon, taking a used opportunity (conditions as new) at about .100. I sold my Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Aluminum which, being extremely compact, had its limits in terms of stability and maximum height. At the same time, I didn't want to take a heavy and bulky tripod, like my first 190 X PROB Manfrotto. So I decided to try this Rollei C5i Carbon. I already knew the brand and I had found myself more than fine. I absolutely did not feel on my shoulders only 100 grams more weight than my previous Rollei. The carbon fiber construction allows it to be extremely light and, at the same time, very durable. The maximum height of 157 cm has always been more than enough for my use, as well as the minimum height of 34 cm. Highly recommended product (not just the Manfrotto)!
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
Pros:Lightness and ductility in use, then dimensions really compact when closed
Cons:The impossibility of having a short central column.
Opinion:I find it has a very good price / performance ratio and despite the appearance of gracilino still seems very robust and the declared load data (8 kg) should have them without problems (at the moment I have not tried yet). I took it for travel because of the small size once closed and for the very minimal lightness, almost do not feel like having it. Very nice the ability to remove a leg and turn it into a monopod, useful for some trekking when you always want to have a telephoto / zoom at hand. Overall a nice tripod.
