“First of all this feels like a very high quality product out of the box.When folded, this is just as long as one telescopic leg segment, so small enough to fit alongside a regular camera bag.The travel bag this arrived with has an adjustable shoulder strap, a zip to keep it closed and is, to my pleasant surprise, padded slightly, offering some protection to the tripod in case of it being bumped around during travel. This shouldn't scratch through the bag or you're being very rough with your tripod!Each leg of this tripod has 4 telescopic sections (4 clips). The tripod arrives folded away and the legs fold out up to 180 degrees each. The legs lock in place to prevent them from pushing outwards once they are folded into their minimum standing angle. This is simply operated by moving the leg inwards slightly so you can hold the button/clip in, and then you're able to freely fold the leg up.The middle section of this tripod can move upwards/downwards pretty freely and you can lock it in position anywhere along the way.The tripod arrives with a replacement, shorter, section for the middle if the default one is too long. This part can also be used to mount parts such as the phone attachment to the solo arm (I'll talk about this momentarily).You can untwist one of the legs from this tripod and mount a camera or phone to the end of that leg ... You can expand this leg and make use of this as a long range "selfie stick" or vlogging ... "thingy".The tripod arrives with a few attachments; one with a level, one without a level and one for phones.The attachment is pretty simple and works well with my Canon Eos 250d. The level is surprisingly useful too.The attachments are mounted on top of a ball joint which can be locked with a twist lever, offering a huge amount of maneuverability.The camera can be positioned in pretty much any way you can think of. Wanna position the tripod above something and take a top-down picture of a subject? Flip the legs upside down and mount the camera beneath the top of the tripod. (Careful as you won't have locking legs if you reverse the angle ... If you NEED locking legs, you can remove the mounting pole and insert it upside down, but there's a piece of plastic inside the tightening-bolt which can come loose and be a bit of a pain ... Just keep an eye out for that)It stands at 80" as it says (including the raised, full length pole and the mount on top of that).There are degree markings on the mount with a lockable lever to spin the camera around, which allow you to be precise with your shooting angles.Ultimately I can't see any cons to this tripod. For the price this is a fantastic option. It's difficult to find one above 6ft for under £100 and this falls quite a bit below that, at about 6 and a half ft!This isn't a tiny tripod, but it's a decently sized one which feels solid in terms of its build quality.”

“Very firm and steady it holds my d800e with battery grip plus my Neewer flash I've used it outside and it's solid and light to carry I highly recommend”
