Another great part about the Nivelo is that the centre column ( Quick Fold Central Column) inverts without having to remove the camera, or even remove the column, you simply pull it up, release the safety catch, swivel it around, allowing you to get close to the ground or your subject. Fast and hassle free. I rather like this even though I probably wouldn't have need for it, but for macro shooters this is probably the best feature of the tripod besides its size/weight.

And as for travel I wouldn't hesitate to take this me, any other tripod I've had has been too bulky/big/heavy to bother bringing. This will easily fit in a carry on bag.

Fully extended the tripod mightn't go as high as you'd like, but this is what you sacrifice for the collapsed size & weight, I can live with that!
Given its size and weight (very light) it doesn't feel cheap like I'd expect - aliminimum for the legs and center column, tough plastic for the other parts, and the feet being slightly rubbery to give a bit of grip - all the parts feel solid and look well, and with the legs in the collapsed position, this makes a great table top tripod too!
It also comes with a nicely padded case that I nearly missed, as it is stored at the bottom of the packing! The User Manual is part of the packaging, should you need to use it, but the tripod is mad easy to use, a few seconds fiddling and you'll have it down.
