Keen price with online discounts, Sturdy build, Handy extras
Only supports 6kg, Feet wouldn't come off, Aluminium rather than carbon fibre
This is a much better budget choice than the A-197 EX, thanks to its handy reversible central column, spirit level and other extras. The only slight quibble is that the ends of the feet didn't come off on our model, but maybe this was a production faul...
