The tripod is really good for the money. Movement is smooth and it's reasonably weighted. The tripod legs feel sturdy and solid. However, it's not all perfect. The head tightness adjustment is useless, as with loosening it too much the movement becomes "jerky", especially with panning. The leg adjustment could use a "middle" point, as between the "high" leg settings and "medium" is HUGE difference. I also feel like the legs are not all the same length, as with making it talled, the head is always out of ballance and needs adjustment. Overall, I'm happy with it for my use. The selled sent it really quicly and by DHL it was here in less than a week, just be aware that DHL has big fee when counting taxes.
