I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

The five telescopic sections slide out very easily and are fixed by turning clockwise. I have never seen this before and was pleasantly surprised by the convenience of such a design. Maximum distance between legs 38 cm The head, in addition to screw fixation, has a ratchet mechanism, five positions on both sides of the inclination from the vertical position. Head screw 1/4″ Remote control with built-in battery with microUSB connector

Pros
  • Quality. Quickly and easily unfolds and folds

Not advised to buy this, does not meet the advertised standard.

Do not buy, complete junk. It will not hold a normal camera, a smartphone is at best, and even then it is not heavy. Flimsy, staggers like a reed from the wind from the window (it stands in the room !). The fastening of the upper outlet rod broke right away, it is barely alive, the screw at the bottom also does not inspire confidence. Such a tripod should cost 300-400, as it is on Aliexpress, where it was actually brought from.

Cons
  • Flimsy, light, wobbly, broke immediately
