Tripod, COMAN C2016 Carbon Fiber Camera Tripod 56.7 inches Lightweight Travel Professional Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and Carrying Bag for Canon Nikon Sony Camcorder DSLR Camera and Video

good

I'm impressed. I've no idea if the legs really are made out of carbon fibre (and I've no reason to believe they're not) but at £45 this is the best price carbon fibre compact tripod I could find. The overall build is excellent. With five sections of leg extended I was worried that they may bow a little or would not be sturdy. As it turned out there was nothing to worry about on either count. With all 5 sections extended and a full 2 part stem I find my viewfinder at 5 feet and with 4 sections at 4 feet tall. The picture shows 4 sections of leg and 1 stem. Camera weighs 3/4 kilo. The only negative (tiny) detail is the quick release plate is screw in, so unlike just popping a lever to release it takes 4 turns to undo. Still means you don't have spin the camera round and round. Decent bag to help carry the tripod which doesn't feel unduly heavy or too light to use with a little wind. Recommended.

Generally fit for purpose however one leg is defective and needs to be monitored closely.

So far, appears well made and working as expected. It's heavier that I thought it would be, but that may be due to the carbon fiber? I'm taking it to Africa soon so will update review when I return after using it for a while. The seller has been very responsive and helpful to all of my questions prior to and after my purchase. Replies returned in less than 24 hours.

Sehr gutes Stativ, gute und leichte Handhabung

product is top notch. every component is built properly and the mono pod is a great extra and the deciding factor on the purchase of this carbon unit

2 patas, en su segunda sección vienen con defecto: le faltan las placas de bloqueo que van entre los tubos. Si aflojas esa sección la pata se cae directamente... El resto del trípode tiene buena pinta. Estabilidad suficiente para ir de viaje, con un peso y tamaño contenido. No es muy grande, que es lo que se busca si tienes que ir mucho tiempo con el trípode cargado. La barra vertical, justita... no parece dar mucha estabilidad.

très belle construction, je recommande
