Review on 📷 HS80C Carbon Fiber Tripod Monopod - Ultra Stable & Lightweight Professional Camera Stand with 75mm Bowl and Bowl Adapter - Heavy Duty Tripod with Max Load of 66 lbs/30kg by Matt Morgan

I just made a YouTube video discussing Milky Way photography tripods and ball heads used with a star tracker be able. I wanted to leave Really Right Stuff and just return the Feisol Tournament tripod. These tripods are good, but this Chinese copy is actually better and more stable. It was developed by Chinese engineers on their website. It weighs 4 pounds which is a little more than the RRS, Feisol and Gitzo but the diameter of the legs is much larger than those tripods so I returned them and kept this one. Although I could afford the Really Right Stuff RS 24L tripod, it cost 70% and almost 40% less than the Feisol Tournament CT3442. These tripods have much more flexible and thinner legs at the bottom. The RRS supports 44 lbs and the Feisol reportedly supports 55 lbs. I have found that they vibrate more when wearing the MSM Star Tracker or Star Adventurer Pro. This tripod is heavier and more stable for a star tracker. He's bigger too. I'm 6ft 2" tall and the tripod is at eye level. My only complaints: 1) The leg angle tension is very harsh. I had to use an allen wrench to loosen the tension a bit which was tough but worked and 2) It has a 75mm bowl which I don't understand the purpose of as it doesn't have a bladder so you can't Use it to align the ball head when shooting panoramas. The dragonfly is on a tripod, not a tripod. leveling shell. Why? 3) Also, the base of the platform is huge, like a feisol tripod. Why not make the base narrower so it can be folded up and put in a suitcase or backpack? I wouldn't travel packed for that. I would use it for auto camping or astrophotography when you don't have to walk. It would be great if it could be folded to 20 inches and the base diameter of the platform was smaller than most other tripods.
