Probably among the very few, if not the only choice if you are looking for a tripod (your first, as in my case) in carbon and under €150. Overall, a good product if you are just starting out with photography (like me) and want to make an intelligent purchase and avoid skinny tripods that will force you to spend more money in the near future. When closed it is very compact and easy to transport given its zero weight , resistant and of good workmanship. I thought that the 162cm height of the tripod was too little. I'm 179cm tall and the fully extended tripod is definitely acceptable (if not perfect, given that we're talking about a compact, travel tripod!) for my height; by extending the central column and with the ball head mounted, it reaches me exactly between my chin and my mouth (therefore almost eye level with the camera mounted... I have a Canon M50 MII) thus preventing me from bending too much and causing any discomfort. Unique the thing is that the orange levers for orienting the legs seem a little fragile but nothing tragic, just pay attention. After all, for absolute quality you undoubtedly have to go up in price. I haven't tested it in the field yet but I don't expect any gross or unpleasant surprises.
