Pros: Great stability, relatively light, very high even without extending the central column, robust construction and cared for in detail
Cons: The central column cannot be placed horizontally, with a three-movement head mounted it is very difficult or impossible to store it in its transport bag
Opinion: I start from the assumption that I found this easel in promotion at a cost of 320 euros, so for me the value for money is unbeatable. Despite the 4 sections of the legs the stability is at full test, and for amateur or semi-professional use is perfect, also because personally I do not think I will ever reach the maximum range 18 kg declared. In addition, even without extracting the central column reaches a remarkable height, indeed in many cases I find myself extending only three sections leaving closed the thinner, for an even greater stability. The sections of the legs, however, lock and unlock by easily rotating practical collars, the click of which makes it clear without possibility of error whether the section is blocked or not. During use it is noted for its great robustness, but the carbon construction makes it relatively light and, all in all, manageable and easily transportable. The only problem is that you can store it in the beautiful bag supplied only without the head, so if you plan to use it often during the work session and do not want to disassemble it and reassemble it continuously, it is better to carry it by hand or with the strap included in the package. Note: this applies to me that I use a three-movement head, it may be that with a less bulky ball head you can safely use the bag. Another flaw found is that unlike other brands, for example Manfrotto, the center column cannot be placed horizontally but only vertically. However he is forgiven with great care in detail. Very useful the hook under the central column to hang the bag or other objects and increase stability, and always the column itself can be removed and, after unscrewing the bottom, the top one can be reassembled (also wanting upside down) to be able to place the camera a few centimeters above the ground once the legs are widened to the maximum, ideal configuration for macro photography. Interesting the possibility of removing one of the legs that can become a monopod, and very comfortable rubber feet; screw them discover very useful metal tips in case of slippery or icy terrain. It is worth remembering that in the package, in addition to the bag, there are the brusqueness and wrench necessary for disassembly and adjustment of the head and legs, a spare hook, an additional strap for transport and the instruction booklet.
