Got my daughter to write review as i got it for her. For first time having a tripod its easy to use and set up not heavy folds away nicely so its not bulky comes with protective bag, the quick release is fantastic does what it says, easy to adjust everything to get perfect persition to take a photo, if anyone is like me and gets tremors now and again its brilliant as u dont need worry about having a steady hand so photos dont get blurry would recommend to others
