Very good build quality, it seems like it will withstand for many years. It is not lightweight, like the classic "cheap" aluminum tripods in the 30-50 euro range, but relatively heavier. The weight is just right to be stable but not bothersome to carry. The head securely locks in place, even with relatively heavy weight. I tested binoculars weighing just over 2 kilograms and it securely locked in any position I placed them. In moderate wind, like any other "lightweight" tripod, it moves a little, but if you hang a weight on the hook, it helps a lot. It can also be considered as a "photographic" tripod and not for video, but if you attach the head to the horizontal extension bar, you can take great videos and rotate the camera just as comfortably as a "video" tripod with a large handle. Overall, in its category, it is perhaps the only tripod one will ever need, as in combination with the horizontal bar, the conversion to a monopod with a height of about 2.5 meters, the upside-down photography with the camera close to the ground, the smooth horizontal rotation of the head for panoramas and videos, etc., it is almost the perfect tripod! Even the legs have iron "spikes" on the edges to be stable in outdoor environments, but if needed, they unscrew and small rubber feet extend to avoid scratching tiles or wood in indoor spaces! The only negative thing I found is the relatively higher price (93€) compared to other similar tripods (without the horizontal extension bar), which surprisingly is 15 euros cheaper on eBay and Amazon, and the fact that if someone needs a second base (quick release plate) to attach a second or even third camera without wasting time, it costs around 20 euros each! As an example, a complete head (including the quick release) costs around 40 euros. If I ever need a second tripod, this will be my first choice without hesitation.
