It does look like a rebranding of a more generic Chinese Carbon Fibre model but have been pleasantly surprised with the build quality and finish of it, plus doesn't seem to flimsy for something so light and happily holds my DSLR and lens. I came from a far more expensive and big 3kg+ Manfrotto tripod and head, and not missing that at all.

How do you find it Calumet? I’ve got the impression Calumet is their in-house own brand.

That Calumet tripod looks exactly like the Nat geographic carbon one I bought from Amazon for £43.99 last year, same features, same 5 section, one leg into a mono-pod, two stage centre column. Admittedly it was a Prime deal and they are now £83 but many of these Chinese pods just get re-branded. Used it a fair bit and v pleased with it so yours should be good too.

Maybe you need to consider that photographers have to walk a lot and photographic gear isn't light. Every ounce counts when you're hiking.

People that buy these know their vehicle's fuel economy to 2 decimal places. And keep an Elastoplast in their wallet. And.........

Thumbs Up for the effort

No, but if you stab a small hole through the middle of your iphone with a skewer and then tape it to the front of the camera using plenty of thick black tape you may be able to use it as a pinhole lens for the camera.

£3050 once you add even the cheapest 35-70mm F/4.5-5.6 WR lens and that might be difficult as there doesn't appear to be any UK stock of GF lenses at the moment. Ok if you already have some lenses, but if you already have the lenses you probably have the GFX50S so wouldn't buy this.

Can I use my iPhone lens if I snap that off, or will I need an adapter? Ultimately I'm not sure why anyone would want a camera that sticks to the rules of thermodynamics, physics and optics in this day and age

The iPhone is defiantly better because it defies the rules of thermodynamics, physics and optics to produce a better picture even with a 100 times smaller sensor, hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing your first deal @Dangerboy101 (y)

Be it Marmite or a JCB, some people will believe that Aldi products are of equal quality to branded items just because they use copycat packaging. #mugs

Just like an iclone. There's more to it than that. Its a combination of optics, sensor and image processing. Its not all about the sensor alone. If it were, then all the phones and cameras with higher mega pixel sensors would be better than an iclone or go pro, but there not!

Like i said, it's a model to compete with older models.... for that price its not terrible What GoPro do you know of that costs £50? I had the Hero plus 3 and 2nd hand they cost about £50 and it doesn't have an LCD back screen, video quality was average at best. I still think this is worth it as its competing against older more expensive GoPro models. Anyways, I'll stop trying to Flog a dead horse lol

This isn't worth the money, invest in a GoPro or DJI or it's just wasting money
