text: I’m a content creator and I bought this tripod to replace my shorter, non ball-head, name brand tripod. This tripod has a gradient on its head and it helped me to get a horizontal panning shots accurately. Size and weight is just right for me. Switching on a ball head tripod, I can now achieve a smooth pan and tilt movements smoother and faster since these doesn’t require separate adjustments unlike what I had before. The tripod feels light yet very rigid and seems durable but, I might have to update this review as I use it more. I have attached a couple of pictures to better illustrate my review.
