  Notes on use
  : 
 
 
 
  
 
   

    Ideal for setups up to 9 kg; for telephoto lenses (e.g. 70-200 mm f/2.8), ballast on the hook or a 2-second timer is recommended to ensure stability in windy conditions. 
   
 
 
  
 
   

    Users praise the robustness and flexibility (e.g., "perfect for macro with a 60 mm lens"), but criticize the risk of pinching fingers with QPL shutters, especially when wearing gloves. Practice minimizes this.  
    
 
     
 
      
 
       
 
        

          
        
 
       
 
      
 
     
 
    
 
   
 
 
  
 
   

    The rotating spirit level is an advantage, but difficult to read in low light conditions; an external spirit level can help.
