A very sturdy and beautifully finished tripod, for also feisty cameras. The weight is approx. 1.9 kg, including packaging material just over 2 kg (slightly higher shipping costs). The maximum working height is approximately 165 cm, obtained by 3 fine turning buttons per leg. The tripod is very easy to set up and extremely stable. Please note, for this tripod I have added a quick release plate that is not original, but does work (not in the photos). Make sure that the camera is secure, otherwise get an original one on the internet. They are not that expensive, and easy to find. Real beautiful tripod. See the photos.
