Key Features I really Loved
The inclusion of a levelling bubble on the leg section so i could level the legs rather than the ball head , so i could set up for multi row panorama images
The weight was perfect to carry up and down the mountainous terrain of the Teide National Park
The solid clip lock mechanism on the oval shaped legs , making setting up a fast and efficient experience even in pitch darkness
The overall size when packed up on the bag , meant that i had all the confidence it woudnt catch on and rocks or foliage as I walked to some locations
The only negative i have was the tiny ball head that it came with , if i was only doing landscapes and long exposure photography it would of been fine , but i had to change ballheads when i was using the Star Tracker (Move shoot Move) which he tripod worked and handled effortlessly so another plus for me
