Leichtes Stativ

Ein ideales Stativ für Reisen und Wanderungen. Trotzdem sehr stabil.
Sehr gut: Das integrierte Einbein.
Veebesserungsvorschlag: Die Inbusschlüssel im Stativ integrieren. Dann fehlt nichts, wenn man das Stativ ohne Tragetasche am Rucksack mitnimmt.

Einfache Bestellung schnelle Lieferung

Das Stativ ist sehr gut verarbeitet es ist ein neueres Modell wie dei gleichen Stative die auf YouTube getestet werden da einige Sachen an dem Stativ verbessert wurden. Es ist auch eine Handyhalterung dabei man kann sie in der Mittelsäule verstauen. Der Kugelkopf und die drehfunktion haben eine getrennte Arretierung.

I got better than I expected

I got better than I expected. The quality of the plastic and the detail is fully in line with the price, and as for the discount, I couldn't afford anything better. So I can really say thank you to Rolle. Also the free gift was a surprise, the quality of which is also amazing.

Ausgezeichnet

Ich bin super zufrieden mit meinem neuen leichten Stativ. Ich hatte früher immer ein grösseres Stativ und ich bin nun mehr als zufrieden. Es ist super leicht, durch das Carbon und es ist perfekt zum verstauen, sei dies in einem grösseren Rucksack innen oder ohne Problem aussen.
Nun kann ich es viel aktiver Nutzen, da es so kompakt ist!
