Solid tripod that turns into a monopod, no complains from me. Had this thing for a few years. Only wish it was more compact, but nothing is every perfect!
Solid build, good weight and easy to deploy.
It's small, light, and for once, I can actually mount a monopod foot on it! If you're looking for a really small tripod with a video head that isn't massive, this is the one to get. I used it with a Lumix G85 camera at a conference and it worked great. My only complaint is that the level bubble is hidden by the camera once it's mounted. There's no stabilizer due to the type of tripod this is, so it's not the most stable, but I don't count that against it since every tripod of this style is that way so you should know what you're getting into.Also, lots of tripods convert to monopods, but unlike most, this one lets you unscrew the foot and the threaded hole is the correct size to take a folding monopod chicken foot.
This stand is a great happy medium between the cheapest stands and fully professional stands.I think the head can deliver smooth pans at close range, but not at longer reach. For example, I was using this with a Canon XF405 in the back of a 600-seat theater. At that range, this head proved a bit jerky when following people, but it was easy to set up fixed shots.I also found that there are a lot of places to tighten and loosen the stand for panning. This is good, but like anything, it will take some time for you to get used to it so you can make adjustments quickly. The first few events, I found myself searching for a mystery tightening tool. You'll get used to where they are.So, I originally bought one of these stands to try. I have now bought them for my 3 cameras, and use them on most projects. I only break out a nicer stand when I need smoother panning shots. These Small Rigs are simple, lightweight, and if one breaks, it isn't the end of the world.I did break one of these stands, but it wasn't the stand's fault. I tripped and as I was falling, I protected the camera, rather than the tripod. I was totally fine sacrificing the tripod in that case.So, this is surprisingly good value at this price point, providing much better performance than an entry level tripod, without the cost of higher end tripods. It doesn't quite measure up to stands 3x more expensive, but it does let you save those for events where you really need it. :)
Muy buen equipo y cumplida la entrega
