Like all tripods, the Innorel RT90C is a compromise between weight, stability and cost: but it is a pretty good compromise. I have a Manfrotto 055 carbon fiber tripod which is sturdy enough for all my needs but it is too big and cumbersome to take on a hike, although not necessarily all that heavy. The legs are attached to the tripod base by a bolt that can be adjusted (with the supplied hex keys) to provide the desired tension, and the angle locks (that keep the legs at the desired angle) are the slide rather than the sprung variety. Height is from the ground to the plate; in real world activity, you need to add the height of the tripod head. I have a 3LT Billy, but with my camera, 2x converter and 70-200 Sigma sport, even in mild wind I could not get anything in focus.

I've seen Lots of Excellent Reviews On Artcise / Innorel products ( mainly) Tripods and thats Good ? The build quality of the metal, rubber and carbon fiber components is definitely the best I have seen from Aliexpress.I am looking for something the size and weight of the Manfrotto Compact action but sturdy like the 055. I'm not sure many tripods can stand 5 mins in windy conditions though or I haven't come across a use case in the photography I do (landscape) where I'd be wanting a 5 min windy exposure! I am looking to upgrade to a TA-3-LC-HK: Series 3 Leveling Base with Clamp and Hook from Really Right Stuff.

The pan is compatible with 75 mm or 100 mm bowls, as well as any other equipment that can be attached to the tripod directly.I don't have the budget for the RRS, Gitzo's or equivalents right now so wanted to see what taller tripods were available on Aliexpress. Yes, that one would also be my choice, as mentioned in my first reply: " Heavier and more expensive, oh well, but I think the Innorel 90 maybe might be the better choice (mainly thinking about the 40mm diameter of the top leg segments and the bigger bowl diameter). Cliplocks or twistlocks for the leg segments: I prefer cliplock, as all it takes is looking at it to see if it is in the locked position or not. As a result I have got a fair bit of my camera gear from there over the years and I would say the hit rate for good quality is about 70% (i. The centre column has a notch so it won't rotate which is a surprisingly annoying issue I have had with other tripods.
