►Light tripod with quick release and carrying case!!
Well, I buy things only if I strictly need them.

►What do you get?
In the box there is a nice carrying case, the tripod and the quick release.

Personally I use the most the tripod and when I need to create content for social media I use also the quick release for my phone.

►How light is the tripod?

Compared to what I have used used so far it is very lightweight. I would definitely recommend this specially to travellers, at 1.33kg it is woow!!

►What is carbon on this tripod?
The tubes, the rest is good quality aluminium.

►The head?
When you see if for the first time it might look small to you but from what I have experienced does a good job. It goes 360 and has marking all around which is very helpful specially for panoramas or wide landscapes.

This really helps me when I have to film from a specific angle and then I rotate the head to get a different angle and i literally take a picture of the angle where the camera was positioned before. Like this I dont have to worry about getting a different angle.
The plate of the head has a nice branding on it, made from rubber which will stop your camera from sliding.
The lock works really well. When I move my almost 3kg camera to portrait mode all the weight goes on one side and when I lock the head it literally stays where I wanted. The rotation of the head is smooth, doesnt glitch to interupt somehow your smooth video.

►The middle part of the tripod?
The lock which is located in the middle is easy to access ad to loose or lock,
There is also the wheel lock with rubber on top which will allow you to make the tripod taller. I strongly suggest to keep that properly locked to avoid your camera to slide down.

►The legs?
These have 4 sections and will allow you to go very specific with the height.
The best part is when you open them they slide down very fast so you dont have to pull them, for me this saves a lot of time, what I alsways do it I unlock all 3 legs from all sections and just let them open. Also when you adjust the height the legs go very smooth.
At the bottom these have a good solid rubber which will prevent the tripod from sliding. I mainly use it in the kitchen where I film a cooking show and the tripod stays ok on the tiles. For this is also use a backpack wiht around 5-7 kg inside to stabilize it properly. There is hook that you use to attach things(like in my case the backpack for more stability).

►How stable is it?
For what I use for, it is great. Now I cannot say anything about taking it hiking where the wind might be a problem.
I use it stricly in the kithen and I move it around quite a lot to catch different angles.

►Why did I buy this one instead of others?
It is very simple, because it is lightweight and compact. Sometimes I have to travel to my clients for food shots and i have to carry with me the gear and I wanted something to save on weight and size. This tripod is what I needed.

►The quick release?
Well build and nice looking also, I would say to use it more with the phones. It is very practical to have it around and I consider a good addition that you get this with the tripod.

►The carrying case?
Nice one!! You can easily fit the tripod(only properly folded) and maybe some other small gear, there is room left.

►Overall experience with this?
Was a bit surprised to realise how light and compact this is. Easy to use and stable enough for my static setup and the 3kg camera I use the most.

►Cons? I didnt find any so far.

I will update this review in a couple of months to let you know how this performs in time.
