A little late delivery, but, I understood it was by long Mid-Autumn holiday season. As soon as I received it, I tested to use it and I have satisfied it ,but, I found small un-satisfied point on center column that could not fixed for 1~2mm. I had locked Center Column Locking Knob, but it is continuously small space to move from body about 1~2mm.
the item functions as described but the packaging need to improve. the tripod is dusty so some of the dust gets into the twisted joints and requires disassembly to clean them.
