Luckily I didn't have my camera attached at the time. Also, at one point one of the legs completely disconnected from the main connecting point on top when moving it. I would not recommend this product. I feel this product is cheaply made. It's very light and doesn't have a sturdy feel to it.
I have another tripod that I have had for a long time that is a little shorter than this one, and the camera quick release fits both. This tripod is nice and sturdy, and has a great feel to it.
Otherwise, this is a solid tripod and will work great for still photos. Didn't see a way to reduce the squeak sound. Liked the EZ set up and gives me the height I was looking for to produce quality video. Found a squeak during a horizontal/level turn with and without the video camera attached.
Es manejable de buena altura dificil de encontrar en México, más bien aquí no hay, es muy lijero, facil de transportar,
If you need a taller tripod, bite the bullet, and look at ones that are about twice the price of this one. It's just cheap.This tripod is very light for its size, and while that might be an advantage if you plan on carrying it great distances, it's the result of the relatively thin-guaged legs. If this is in your price range, buy a shorter tripod instead. Within weeks of purchasing this tripod, the gear jammed, and then stripped.
Most tripods in this price range are much shorter. To sum it up, this tripod isn't a great value. You can find some very good shorter models for this price. Most tripods that are this tall are significantly more expensive.
With the top section unable to raise and lower, the advantage of the higher than normal height of this tripod was gone.I really can't recommend this tripod to anyone. It's just cheap. However this tripod isn't a great value. The sharp inner edges of the legs will painfully pinch your fingers if you try to use the carrying handle without somehow securing the legs in a folded position.The height adjustment crank includes a plastic gear.
