Tilt handle can go more to the right (to become perpendicular to the pan handle) so you have more space for the pan motion. And you can take of the center column completely and put it back upside down for the low to the ground shots.
@@foXnoMad you need to unscrew it more just enough so it clears the plastic piece. it isn't very intuitive i guess but if you look closer its easy enough imo
The tilt handle is actually a roll (side tilt). You just set it level at the start and forget about it. The panning and tilt is all done by the main handle.
On the upper handle all you had to do was unscrew it far enough to swing it around into the slot designed for it to fit into and then tighten the handle. Works like a charm, next time read the instructions, ok? reverse the procedure to pack it up. No leveling bubbles HUGE mistake on their part, and the camera mount clamp does not tighten on mine. Poor QC on their part.
Have had mine for about 3 years and I have found it an excellent travel tripod for doing landscapes. Sadly I lost one of the handles that must have fallen when I was taking it home in my pannier bag without the carry case.
I bought this a month ago thinking a good decent expensive tripod was gonna be good but those two handles are the worst. I just about got it to work easily today.
You really stuffed up the handles. The second handle can be set 90° to the main and moved completely out of the way. Just set it level at the start and forget (for video anyway).
Are you a duffus, that tilt handle can move to the side, unscrew it until it feel like it will fall off, there is a groove and move the handle to the side... why did you even put this up omg.
the only oversight is you not reading the instructions , how can you give advice and make a review of something that you are not able to understand and use properly ?
I tried to use my tripod today for the first time and I totally agree with everything that you said in your video, I could not get my shot I was so frustrated.

Thanks for the feedback! Still wish it were implemented better...

5:05 see this shot? The side handle can be loosened and moved completely out of the way. You are using it wrong.

Yeah he used it wrong and blamed the tripod.

That's too bad, hopefully you can get the replacement part without having to replace the entire tripod.
I hate those two handles getting in the way how frustrating gonna go return it today...also felt like I was breaking it twisting it in certain angles

Does this pan straight up to zenith if used with a small telescope?
Hi All, can you replace the head on this specific model? I have it, but I don't see a screw underneath to remove it like I would with some others.
It’s tough to love, but I’ve been making it work for some time.

if you want to take shots from low level you can turn the center pole upside down. you really don't know how this tripod works.

This one might work a lot better: th-cam.com/video/PGXYkFz2-bU/w-d-xo.html
There is no brace between the legs... I don't like this.
Thanks for your honest review, I think its a load of rubbish
So you say it's a good tripod and then do nothing but slag it off. It is a truly crap tripod 😡😡😡
