Durable, reliable, and great features for the price. Only one complaint...
I never feel compelled to write reviews, but this little tripod deserves it.I just needed something lightweight, but durable enough to withstand travel and some hiking in to remote areas for time-lapse photography and the occasional video with a FujiFilm XT2 and various lenses.I was really surprised at the quality of the build and the attention to detail on things like the felt bag cover for the head and quality carrying tote. The tripod is well made with durable materials. The aluminum legs have a nice coat and finish and the Delrin (or whatever the plastic is) on the leg latches are solid. Even in the dark, I have had no problem handling the various parts. There is one foam pad on an upper leg which seems like durable/quality material that will last. I like that they only chose one leg for the pad, rather than the standard two pads on most tripods. Again, in the dark shooting astrophotography, it's nice to use the single pad as a directional reference. The pointed, rubber feet work well, although it would've been a nice touch to make them removable to reveal spikes underneath to mount on the ground in rough terrain/uneven surfaces. It is a great feature to be able to unscrew the ball head from the base so I can connect things like a small slider or equatorial tracking mount. It's thoughtful of the manufacturer that they included a worm screw for the ball head attachment that is a standard 3/8 thread (or could be 5/8, not sure) with one end stepping down to a standard 1/4-20 thread. I can reverse that screw and have the option of attaching most any accessory to the platform base while having the ball head available to use elsewhere. The ball head action is very smooth and locks in place nicely. All of the knobs and action of the swivel feature are very fluid and lock down well. The adjustment on the neck/center post is done by twisting the metal+rubberized collars to extend and contract the height, and these collars have a very nice, fluid action to them. This works well in conjunction with the red aluminum latches that click the legs in to place at various angles to obtain maximum/minimum height of the unit. It was another nice touch to add the spring hook to the end of the center post so that you can hang a sandbag or weight for added stability. I have a 5lbs. and 10lbs. bag. I was a little worried with the 10 that I was overdoing it, but it worked fine. The 5 has been the go to and it works for added stability.The red accents and branding are classic and add a nice polish to the system, especially if you need to have gear on the job that needs to present well to your client.My only complaint is the camera plate and female receiver portion. They decided to make that entire camera platform out of a hard Delrin/resin/plastic, instead of continuing the metal from the base housing, knobs, and ball head. It is much more solid/harder/durable than the latch plastic, but I don't think they should've skimped out here. It would have been a nicer touch to maintain the solid metal throughout the camera platform. Not sure why that decision was made. I would've gladly paid a bit more if it was a cost thing. It's not a deal breaker, by any means, but I'll just have to be aware of it when loading/unloading gear from a vehicle/location and when setting up/tearing down. I don't see this happening, but would hate for the plastic to crack or break by striking something hard or being crushed by a case, especially at the female receiver side. This is a drop-in/side loading plate, which is nice and should save from any shaving of the plastic had it been a slide-in type of mount. There is an Allen screw that sits flush inside the top of the female receiver side and attaches the platform to the ball head. I'm assuming you can remove this and replace the entire camera platform with one of your choosing, but I haven't tried this yet. Lastly on this complaint, there is a spherical spirit level at the top of the camera platform, right next to where the camera plate loads. It's basically useless as your camera will cover it as soon as it's loaded and a level above the ball head is useless as you will be adjusting the ball head for the frame anyway and if necessary using the camera level. I would've liked to have seen the level at the base below the ball head so I could level the legs from the ground.All in all, this is a great product for the price and one I'm sure I'll get plenty of years of use and enjoyment out of. With a few modifications, it will be a trusted companion on a lot of shoots.Purchase with confidence!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stable and seems very well built, more than I was expecting even with everything fully extended.
Reviewed in Canada on February 20, 2021
Note: The picture is with my Manfrotto head installed.
Seems very well built, and pretty steady, more than I was expecting even with everything fully extended.
Not extending the last leg section, which is the Achilles heel on any tripod, the thinnest part, will keep it even more stable. There's a handy hand strap that I don't think was mentioned in the listing.
The head it came with seems fairly well built too, but I swapped my Manfrotto ball head over to it... it's a no brainer...it's a Manfrotto head. My old one which is still a great tripod will now be my secondary/backup tripod, or for lights, studio setting, etc. I bought this because my old one is too long and clumbsy to fit on the camera backpack, I need to keep things as light as possible. The black and red looks pretty nice too.

One answer I never got answered is the spikes do retract by turning the rubber, it wasn't a deal-breaker it they weren't.

Also I was surprised the bag seems pretty good quality, it's padded, seams seem sturdy. The only downside is it is only big enough when the tripod is invert flipped to its shortest possible length, but I may not even need it when it's on my camera backpack.
