### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sturdy and light, great little tripod at a great price.

Performance is great i have used this with my camera and spotting scope. Very pleased with purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by F***B on 17 January 2025*

Sturdy little tripod, used it for telescope and camera , solid and supports the weight well without tipping, folds down really well, mega portable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Item thrown over the hedge
*by I***N on 19 December 2024*

Occupant was in waiting to receive the package, instead of knocking on the door, the courier chose to throw the item over hedge where it fell behind my wheelie bin, having walked passed the front door to gain access to the hedge at the rear. Given the damp conditions it was attracting some slugs and sodden (luckily the tripod was not fragile or at risk of water damaged!). So 1 star for service delivery. Received a further package that day where the courier managed to knock on the door and hand the items to me, thus packaging undamaged. This is a great little tripod, and well made. It is very sturdy and stable, and pans very smoothly. With a weight limit of 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) it easily supports my OM-1 camera and a 12-100mm or my 90mm lens. Contrary to some descriptions, the tripod will rotate from the horizontal (landscape) to the vertical (portrait) position, it is tightened in position by the turning the pan arm handle. By turning the camera I can take some close overhead shots. The legs only have one position which, when opened, give an operating height of 21 cm (8.25 inches) and with the legs and centre column fully extended up to 27 cm (10.5 inches). When collapsed the tripod folds down to 24 cm (9.5 inches). This is handy as the tripod just about fits in the pocket of my fleece jacket so it is easy to took away when travelling with just my OM Tough TG-7 camera, they make a great pairing. The tripod works equally as well with a mobile phone with the necessary adaptor. I was primarily looking for something smaller but still sturdy. My Alta Pro 263AT is my main tripod, but it can be a bit cumbersome for some table top type close up and macro shots. This is ideal as it can get in places my larger tripod can't. It gets fairly low to capture overhead close up shots at 17.5 cm (3 inches) from the table top with my 12-100mm lens, but optically the flowers and fungi can it can be too close to focus, but great for my 90mm macro lens. With my TG-7 it gets me up to 13 cm (5 inches) close to the subject, with its x4 zoom I can get some very good detailed shots. It is a shame that the head or at least the quick shoe plate is not interchangeable. My Alta Pro 236AT uses the QS-39 quick shoe plate, so I have to keep removing the quick plate from my OM-1 camera to fit the camera on this tripod, which is a pain and a bit of a faff to say the least, especially when there is a cold wind blowing or when wearing gloves. It is for this latter point I have given it 4 stars, otherwise it would be 5 stars with no reservations. If the shoe plate becomes changeable in an updated version I would re-buy.
