Very stable and compact! Thank you….😉

Después de mucho tiempo buscando trípodes para viaje encontré este trípode de iFootage. Excelente en todo sentido: precio, tamaño, versatilidad, materiales. Súper recomendado

Wysoka jakość i wykonania no i produkt generalnie piękny. Jedyna rzecz, która mogłaby być lepsza, to system blokowania kąta nóżek, który działa, ale nie jest tak wygodny jak rozwiązanie klasyczne. Z tego powodu odjąłem jedną gwiazdkę, ale ogólnie i tak jestem zadowolony z zakupu.

The head is excellent. I just wish ifootage had opted to make a carbon-fibre version with only three or four segments per leg similar to their aluminium version.That way the tripod would have been more stable at same or lower weight with same extension.To me it seems the marketing had opted for five segments per leg only in order to achieve similar appearance as Peak Design's trendy travel tripod. But that thin lower section and all the added weight of extra clamps has never been a good idea to start with. Only makes the tripod heavier and more vulnerable to failure.Personally I would not mind if a four section version was 10cm longer (folded) or a three section version was appr. 15cm longer.Other point of criticism: The head cannot be secured to the levelling base through extra pin-screws. So it is prone to rotation and easily comes loose.

muy estable y ligero

After 3 decades of using tripods, I have developed a "taste" for what I look for in a tripod. Stability is the biggest factor, followed by workable height, minimum weight, and collapsed size.Pros:1) The lever locks on the TC-9 are my favorite type by far, and suit my taste MUCH more than the twist-locks on my other tripods (Benro-Induro-Gitzo, etc.)2) I love the fast-bowl as well. While it is not mentioned in IFootage's documentation, the fast-bowl clamp is so well built that it includes a roller thrust bearing in the clamp handle. They really should mention this, as this extra touch makes the clamp incredibly smooth, and provides the feel of true quality.3) The working height. I measured this at 65" to the top of the fast-bowl. I am 6'1', and it's more than I need on a level surface. But I regularly shoot on grossly uneven slopes, and the extra height of the TC-9 is a huge bonus here. I absolutely love this part of it.4) The stability. The TC-9 has huge tubes (the top tube is 34mm), and only has 3 sections, making it extremely stiff and flex-free.5) The accessory mounts. On the TC-9's base, there is a 1/4-20 mounting hole and and 3/8" as well. As another sign of quality, Ifootage uses stainless steel thread inserts in these mounting holes, which makes them almost strip-proof. All the other manufactures I have seen just have threaded aluminum holes, if they include any at all. I use the 3/8" hole to hold an ipad mount. It's just one more small touch that really adds to the build quality and versatility of this tripod.The cons:I hesitate to mention these, because I'm more than willing to overlook the items below, as they are part of the compromise required to obtain the pro's listed above. While I can easily accept these items, they are worth mentioning for the benefit of potential purchasers who may place priority on other factors.1) The collapsed size. Since this tripod has only three leg sections (to increase stability and decrease deployment time), it is 28 inches tall when collapsed. For me, this is not an issue, and it still fits on my backpack without any problems. My next-largest tripod is a 4 section Benro that collapses to 24 inches. If you're looking at them side by side the difference looks massive, but on the trail, the 28" long TC-9 doesn't bother me in the least.2) The weight. This is an extra-tall, extra-sturdy tripod, and that simply requires more material in the construction. I have another tripod in my arsenal that weighs in at 9 pounds. The TC-9 weighs in at only around 5.5 pounds and is more stabile. 5.5 pounds is a little more than I would like, but it's a trade-off I can live with.In short, this is a very tall, very sturdy, and extremely well built tripod that is worth the extra weight and collapsed height. After years of cursing my other twist-lock tripods, I absolutely love having lever locks again. It replaces 3 of my larger tripods by being lighter and taller than them. I will be hiking with this on a regular basis, but I am used to carrying large tripods. Your opinions my vary.I hope this review helps you guys out.
