Lightweight and reliable
It is lightweight on your shoulders and stable on the ground. Extremely compact, lightweight, and reliable, the Element MII Aluminium provides excellent construction and all the necessary features to unleash your creativity on the go. It reaches up to 160 cm, folds down to 42.5 cm, and weighs only 1.55 kg. Additionally, it carries a load capacity of up to 8 kg, which means it is also suitable for heavier zoom lenses, where a sturdy tripod is essential for sharp photos. It includes a padded shoulder bag for easy and comfortable transport.
Aluminum Ball Head
The aluminum ball head allows users to have smoother movement to frame their shot and securely lock the equipment in place. The head features a dual-lock design, with a large main lever for controlling the ball's movement and a smaller secondary lever for independent 360° panoramic control.
The head comes with the 200PL-PRO plate made from high-quality techno polymer material. This lightweight plate is compatible with Arca-type and Manfrotto RC2 head accessories. The rubber parts provide a solid grip, even at the most extreme shooting angles.
Stable Base
The durable aluminum spider provides stability and exceptional reliability for outdoor shots. Its smart body keeps the tripod size to a minimum, housing the patented leg angle selectors, which allow for quick angle changes of the legs for fast and precise camera positioning.
The quick leg opening system and ergonomic locks securely hold your legs in place, allowing for immediate setup and focusing on the shot.
Photographers can add extra weight to the hook located at the bottom of the central column for additional stability when conditions require it.

This tripod is simply perfect for what I need. With a cost of just 120 euros, you get an extremely reliable and durable tripod. Firstly, I use it mostly for macro photography and landscape shots. The ability to reverse the central axis for low-angle shots is exactly what I need to capture details, as I do multiple shots for focus stacking.
One of the main advantages is its portability. It is lightweight and flexible, making it ideal for any photography outing. Its aluminum construction is very sturdy, and its durability never lets me down. But the most impressive thing is the ease of height adjustment. The screws work quickly and securely, making it a breeze to adjust to a greater height.
Another area where it stands out is the camera holding point. It is extremely stable, even when using heavy cameras, such as the Nikon D800 with the Sigma 105mm lens. Although this setup is quite heavy, the tripod does not give in, ensuring stability during the shots.
Overall, this tripod meets my needs comfortably and with quality, without forcing my budget to extremes.
I also have a larger tripod and this one is a second photographic one, ideal size for travel, compact when folded. The head is a bit small, not that it creates an issue even with large cameras like the 5d and lens, but coming from larger heads it makes me have extra caution. Other than that, it is a very decent choice for a small-sized tripod
