" ... This is my “first” real tripod. ... With the new tripod, I don’t have to do that. ... When full extended and camera attached, it’s above my viewing eye level, so I have to bring it down some which is what I wanted. ... I don’t have experience with any other type of tripod beside my old cheap one to compare this to, but it’s works for me and worth it in my opinion. ... "

" ... Added hook at the bottom for more stability and can even flip the camera upside down more close macro shots. ... "
" ... Pretty good mid-range tripod. ... I mainly got it to hold light panels for studio type photography but I'll likely take it as a hiking tripod as well, being a bit lighter than my usual Manfrotto, as long as I won't need the higher weight capacity. ... "
" ... It was plenty strong for my A5700 paired with a 500mm refractive lense. ... "
" ... Not for 500 f/4, but for DSLR with kit lens or RX10M3 it's perfect. ... "

" ... Using with a FF DSLR and telephoto lens without any problems. ... "
" ... This is a beginner tripod. ... "
" ... Holding a focal point at a distance or long exposure shots are out of the question. ... "
