Comments about Giottos Giottos MTL 9271B 3-Section Compact Aluminum Tripod with Classic Ball Head, Maximum Height 63", Supports 22 lbs.:
It's really a product suitable for tall people. I have almost 6.4 ft and I can work absolutely straight.
This set is not covered with the classic ball, although informed in the headline.

Comments about Giottos Giottos MTL 9271B 3-Section Compact Aluminum Tripod with Classic Ball Head, Maximum Height 63", Supports 22 lbs.:
Originally, I was a bit worried about trying this tripod as there are little to no reviews on it. However, being so pleased with a Giottos monopod I got a few weeks ago, I decided to give it a try with high hopes.
Construction is very stable with excellent overall quality. I am 6'7" so I need a tall tripod. I was surprised to see that I do not even have to extend the vertical tube to get the viewfinder to my eye with a added head on the tripod, it is plenty tall!
The tripod feels very solid with smooth working fasteners. It is quick and easy to extend and retract the legs with the nice flip levers. The 3-angle leg adjustment is very nice, with the ability to get very low to the ground.
Weight wise, it is not lighter or heavier than I expected. I do not carry it everywhere with me, but will have no trouble carrying it around when I do.
I highly recommend this tripod. It is high quality, tall and very stable. It should last a very long time!
