Features

Use
There are no handling issues with this tripod. The leg locks are nice and grippy as we have come to expect from Induro. The 3/8″ bolt that the head screws onto locks onto the tripod with a nut. If this is loose, it can be difficult to screw the head on. Once the head is on though, there are no problems.
Build Quality
The build quality is solid. Definitely a step above what we expect from tripods at this price point.
Test Results
The full test data can be found here. The table below summarizes the results.
Stiffness About Vertical Axis | 237 +/- 1 Nm/rad |
Damping About Vertical Axis | 0.096 +/- 0.01 Js/rad |
Stiffness About Radial Axis | 838 +/- 3 Nm/rad |
Damping About Radial Axis | 0.191 +/- 0.019 Js/rad |
These stiffness results are pretty poor for a tripod of this weight. The very small bottom leg sections are the clear culprit.
Summary
Pros
- Good Build Quality
- Cheap
Cons
- Poor Stiffness
If you need a cheap tripod with good build quality to support small pieces of gear, this could be a good tripod for you.
