My normal setup is this tripod with the Gitso head GH1780QR (there are better options out there but this head is the one I had in my old tripod and I'm reusing it)
The screw where the head is attached is 3/8"
Height of the head: 95mm
Height legs extended including the head: 1.37mts
Max Height with center bar extended including the head: 1.64mts
Solid Carbon Selfie Stick (you see the two pictures) :
- Giotto Professional Mini Ball Head Camera Mount (us$ 16.99) (Supports 2KG)
- SmallRig Double Head Stud Adapter 3/8 Male to 3/8 Male
- Tripod's monopod leg
Total weight of the selfie stick: 320grs.
I'm using this tripod and selfie monpod with a Canon M50 + 18-150 or 24-70L and 5DMKII without any problems.
Really recommended!!

As advertised, this FGP28A arrived in a "Like New" condition, as if it had never been touched--new packaging with tags attached, etc.
Came in a pouch inside of a well-made, padded case with pockets, which included spikes for the feet and a shoulder strap.
I own a Gitzo 5543XL, an Induro 404XL, a Sirui P-424SR, and now this FGP28A.
In the past, I owned an Oben AC-1441 and a Manfrotto 290XTA3.
So, I have experience with tripod equipment of different brands, different price point, and different levels of craftsmanship.
The FGP28A is well crafted, light, solid, and versatile. It has a versatile center column and an easy link port.
It cost 1/10 of what I paid for the Gitzo and 1/4 of what I paid for the Induro; but as with those more expensive tripods, the FGP28A matches its price point. It is worth $150-$200. On the other hand, the Manfrotto290XTA3 cost about $120-$150, but it is not worth that much money.
I use the rock-solid, everlasting Gitzo for video with a slider and for architectural and studio photography with a 405 geared head. I use the Induro for everything else except travel for which I will use the FGP28A.
I anticipate the FGP28A will last many years because it will only be used for travel and whenever I need a small, light gearset.
I recommend this tripod for travel and light, occasional use.
Update:
Tripod has held up very well. My go to travel tripod for backpacking/hiking. Use this tripod in lakes, mud, any terrain. Comes with spikes for added security. Also own two Gitzo tripods which I use in studio (paid too much to tear those up in the field). This is a good, reliable tripod for taking into the field and doing the hard work of photographiong while hiking etc.

Fra i pro c'è da menzionare la sua versatilità: buona altezza totale, colonna centrale estraibile e posizionabile "sottosopra" o trasversalmente ( con quasi totale libertà di scelta ), può essere posizionato anche raso-terra in più modi ed addirittura una fra le gambe può essere svitata e diventare un monopiede. Comodi i rampini dati in dotazione che possono essere sostituiti alle basi gommate delle estremità delle gambe, che consentono di arpionare a terra il treppiede su suoli terrosi e simili. Insomma, si rivela un eccellente tuttofare...ovviamente con qualche contro: data la sua leggerezza, il cavalletto potrebbe oscillare in alcune circostanze ( specie se totalmente esteso; è tuttavia fornito in kit un gancio per ancorare una zavorra ) e non sarebbe stato male se l'asta centrale fosse stata più lunga; riguardo le gambe, le posizioni di bloccaggio sono unicamente tre - ad incastro e ben salde, ma non avrebbe guastato un po' più di libertà anche in questo caso. Infine c'è la borsa in dotazione per il trasporto: ottima aggiunta e ben fatta, ma accoglie esclusivamente il cavalletto che, per quanto davvero compatto, se monta una testa, trova difficilmente alloggio all'interno di essa.
Per concludere: trovo il prodotto assolutamente valido e lo sto preferendo a colleghi più "blasonati" in mio possesso per trasportabilità, versatilità ed affidabilità...credo anche che se trovato in offerta, è davvero una occasione imperdibile.
Consigliato!
- L'utilisation stable pour un téléobjectif; il supporte bien la charge (je l'utilise avec une tête pendulaire de la même marque, un réflex numérique et sa poignée supplémentaire, un télé (corps tout métal) de 300mm f2.8 et son multiplicateur de focale)... il est donc "Ok" pour l'affut photo/observation,
- Après dévissage d'un des pieds et l'extraction de la colonne, possibilité de les assembler pour faire un monopod télescopique* (uniquement le pied* donc un peu plus long qu'un vrai monopod)... pratique pour la maraude,
- Propose 3 niveaux d’empattement (haut/médium/bas) avec la possibilité, après quelques manipulations de la colonne et de son collet de fixation, de créer une colonne déportée pour la macro. (je n'ai pas encore testé mais je pense qu'on peut aussi l'inverser pour être à raz des pâquerettes).
Son poids est très correct (ce n'est pas du carbone mais le prix non plus !) je trouve utile qu'il ne soit pas trop light afin que sa stabilité soit bonne (avis perso) et on peut l'augmenter car il y a un crochet (livré avec) à viser en bas de la colonne et y accrocher un poids supplémentaire (sac ou autre).
Enfin, seul "défaut" (par rapport à d'autre pied que j'ai eu en main) ce sont les pointes qui viennent remplacer les patins en caoutchouc en about de pied (à utiliser en cas de terrain instable). ceux-ci ne sont pas rétractables... il faut dévisser et visser, avec une clé Allen livrée, les embouts de pieds en fonction du terrain : moins pratique.
Je pourrais lui donner 4 étoiles car rien n'est jamais "parfait" mais, perso et à ce prix, je n'en voudrais pas un autre... donc 5*
