From my small experience, I don't think it's as photographic as mentioned on skroutz. As for image capture: Sturdy. Smooth movement of the head if adjusted correctly. The legs are not the most stable, but if you are careful in how you set it up, you won't have a problem. Unfortunately, during a clumsy transport, I broke a plastic handle clamp. The store suggested not sending it for inspection as it would take too long and they wouldn't cover the damage. I sent an email to some Velbon branches, but I didn't get a response, not about whether they would cover the damage, but if they could send me a replacement part. But since I didn't send the product with the warranty, I can't blame them completely. Otherwise, the price-performance ratio (around €65) is very good in terms of weight capacity, head movement, and height. P.S. I glued the clamp with two-component glue.
