    One thing you forgot to mention, is that the tripod can drop close to the ground. On each leg there is a blue button, if you pull them out the legs can move out more and can go almost flat to the ground. Also the rubber tips come off exposing points and finally the carabiner and thread go between the legs and threads into the bottom for weight

    Carabiner with the mount is for the counterweight, you screw it in on the bottom! I just purchased this for a hiking trip to Banff. I'm using a Nikon D7500 on it and tested the tripod a few times. It has been working solidly and the camera is okay with the extension piece at the minimum setting. Starts to get a bit too wobbly for my comfort at full extension. Honestly a great tripod especially for the weight and for the outdoors.

      @JasonOutdoors  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, thank you. I did figure that out a few weeks after this video. I've used the extension once. I found I can pretty much get what I need without it.

    Handy Triod for sure and it looks like the build quality is nice. I use a big camera (Pentax K-3 Mark iii) and a plethora of old glass for night hiking .. I may pick this little tripod up for my day time day hikes, but I'm still searching for a more stable tripod for long exposure night shots. Thanks for the video :) ..

    • @JasonOutdoors
      @JasonOutdoors  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Without the extension piece it's a sturdy as any other tripod I've used. With the extension it's a little wobbly for my big camera but a phone or gopro would be fine.

    Great tripod. It beats the weight of my heavy huge one. I like the extension piece it comes with. It's worth the extra 5 ounces extra.

    • @JasonOutdoors
      @JasonOutdoors  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't always use one so the size and weight of this was perfect for me.

  • @DavidM2002

    Mine just arrived. Great little tripod and it just fits in my motorcycle tail bag. It's going to be a great addition to my riding gear as it seems to be very quick to setup up, shoot, and repack on the bike. I'm just using my iPhone camera these days and the capture mount thingy is perfect. Did you notice that yellow round thing in the video ? It's a bubble level. Well worth the price. I would suggest that anyone who is going to buy one to read the other comments because there is no manual and you will learn more here than from the manufacturer.
