The functionality is not a problem. The fixings, screws, etc. are smooth, and it can be operated comfortably with extension and contraction. Carbon fiber tripod, from low angles to considerable heights is fine. I was using it for indoor interior photography. It's very convenient. Low angle: 24cm Maximum height: 180cm Collapsed length: 65cm I don't know the weight as I don't have a scale. It's from a completely smoke-free environment and there are no pets. It's a personal decluttering sale. I would be happy if you could use it.
