    Release Plate Issues
    I really wanted to love this Tripod, I spent weeks researching, looking at multiple brands, weighing the pros and cons on each.One of the main reasons I went with this tripod was due to the maximum height that it would achieve seeing that I’m 6”1 and didn’t want to spend most of my time bent over too far and something that was small and compact.Anyway, after unpacking, the feel of the tripod is solid, heavier then I thought it would be but still manageable. The legs feel strong and take a little effort to fold down but that’s good - not sure how long it will be until they become loose after multiple unpacking.After getting the tripod setup, I discovered the first of two major issues with the tripod, the release plate, even when tightening as much as humanly possible, the camera would still spin when slightly touched, it seems that the anti-slide feet don’t do anything at all - I had the camera and lens on the tripod, I picked it up by the neck and my camera span about 90 degrees - my heart skipped a beat!!! Luckily I caught it before it went any further.That leads me to the second issue, the dial for the release plate, it’s too close to the bottom of the camera. I have small hands and I was having issues tightening and loosening the dial to remove the camera.Finally, when using the camera level line, even when on solid ground with nothing moving, the camera was showing that it was not steady - not sure why.So I’ll be returning this tripod and my search will start again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Travel Tripod! Still a little heavy, but perfect for the price.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2017
    Overall, I've had a great experience with this tripod so far. It's easy to pull out of my bag and quickly assemble. Likewise, disassembly is a breeze. Converting to a monopod takes no more than 45 seconds. I wish it was maybe a pound lighter, but you get what you pay for - I'm pleased with my decision. I chose this over the Element Traveler Small because of the detachable monopod leg on this model and the sturdier build (though the small is very well built too).

    Pros:
    - Legs have enough tension to stay collapsed if carrying by holding just one leg
    - Sturdy with Canon 6D and 16-35mm lens (~3.1 lbs) at full extension
    - Foam grip on one leg (monopod leg) for cold weather
    - Easy assembly/folding
    - Fits in a Camelbak bag (just barely though)

    Cons:
    - Probably too heavy for true backpacking
    - Carrying case it comes with is too big
    - The ball head comes loose very easily
    - When converting to monopod or back to tripod, you have to ensure that there's enough threads in both the center shaft and the head and not too many in the other. It doesn't automatically stop halfway on each.
