I have a tripod to use with a camera. It’s fairly basic and as a casual user, I had no idea that a tripod could offer so many additional features. For me, this is a super deluxe, all singing and dancing model and I’m blown away by how much better it is.I live in a rural area, and when I’ve used a tripod before, I’ve occasionally found it difficult to stabilise on the round tripod feet. No problem here; there are nails to lug into the ground to ensure stability. Brilliant on uneven ground and especially where wind conditions may be an issue.There are four sections to the legs so it’s truly adjustable and extends higher than my other tripod. It’s lightweight, but stable and it’s so easy to adjust. The ball head fitment and tilt function allows real precision setting and the controls are really easy to use. I have some dexterity issues because of arthritis, but setting this up was an absolute breeze. I found it easy to hold, grip and turn.It’s supplied with a quality carry case which is comfortable and I’m confident that the tripod is robust enough to use with expensive an camera. I’d be unwilling to trust a cheap tripod to support a pricey camera. I only use a tripod to take static photos; I don’t take video footage, so I’ve no idea whether this tripod is good for that particular task. I like it and it looks like it’ll last years. Very happy.
