This is not an in depth review but more of my take on this little tripod as I have been using it for the past few days.
I originally got this tripod to shoot off the hood of the car, along with trying out shooting prone, and shooting while I sit as I have many opportunities to do so.
Things I like:
It's really small, portable and lightweight, the legs are twist locking, and it is very stable for such a small tripod, and it has 3 adjustable angles.
When the legs are extended they are very secure as long as you make sure that you twist lock them correctly.
There is zero wobble to this tripod and it has an adjustable post that can give you extra height or bring you lower to the ground.
Things I don't like:
It will not support the weight of any rifle in rhe 23⁰ angle position, even if the legs are fully extended, no matter how compact the rifle is or where it is centered, it simply is too short and will want to tip in which ever direction it is heaviest. (The other 2 angle adjustmentd work just fine).
The adjusting knobs aren't too small, but they definitely aren't big enough. Not to say that you need to crank it down to be secure for all weight but when you want to put say a 10lb gun you need the extra grip and force.
The ball head I find to be too small and weak, this issue is also worsened by the adjustment knob not being being enough to tighten properly. With guns like my Uragan 2 600mm .177 with an Arken SH4, the rifle NEEDS to be centered, otherwise it is too much weight on the ballhead and the rifle will tilt back and not stay in place. Also make sure that the back of the gun is in line with one of the legs for proper balance.
It takes time to set this up, idk if I simply set my expecting high given the ease of using a bipod, but it takes me about 3-4 times as long as it would to set up a bipod.
All in all, this tripod has it's quirks, and if you want to shoot this from specific positions it will work very well, just be ready to take some time to set up. A lot of my shooting as y'all know is on the spot, I don't have time to set up and wait most of the time. In a few of my areas I can set it up and use it to pan and quickly lock it in for a shot which is very nice.
I will also say that for what I originslly wanted to try which was shooting off the hood of the car, it worked beautifully!
Just dont expect to be able to do everything like I did. Haha, I will likely be keeping this, and also be getting and ARCA bipod and swap between the two

Ps: I know I took more pictures but I'm not sure what happened to them.
