Great liquid head tripod for a photographer!

I bought this KINGJOY tripod because I needed a lighter tripod with a moving head so I could use it when shooting birds or wildlife in any conditions. I've used larger and chunkier flexing head tripods for heavy equipment like large spotting scopes, but I needed light enough for a small bridge camera. This KINGJOY tripod is light enough not to be a cumbersome to carry around. long hikes. The legs can be folded out or in very quickly and easily when time is of the essence. I usually walk on a tripod with my legs fully stretched, but I also walk with my legs folded. What I really like about the tripod and which is important since I have to react fairly quickly to wildlife is that the legs can be folded back very quickly. Quickly position yourself for a photo or video. Another plus is that there is a foam pad on one of the legs, which is very nice in cold weather and you don't want to freeze your hand when carrying the tripod for hours. The fluid head is very easy to use and this is one of the best I've used to date. My camera isn't too heavy, but I can adjust the tension so that the camera moves slightly into position and then doesn't move again, even if I point the camera more than 45 degrees up or down. The quick release is also practical and easy to remove if you want to take pictures for a few minutes without a tripod. This tripod is ideal for capturing photos or smooth videos of moving subjects. I took some photos with a tripod and my camera near a backyard bird feeder. Overall I am very impressed with this KINGJOY tripod and find it perfect for the type of photography I do.
