I would find the 58cm fold height quite long for a tripod that gives only 140cm max working height. At that height I personally could only work with the reflex viewer, which is sold out. It’s very unhandy to view the ground glass at that height without the reflex viewer. For the rest it seems good value for money.

I have the Chamonix 45N2 and got a Surui AM-284 four section tripod to use with it. I wanted that size tripod for travel, since I have heavier tripods for close-to-home work. Being four sections, it is very compact when collapsed. Collapsed, it's 52cm (20.5 inches) and its max height is about 131cm (51.5 inches) with head. That means the base of my camera is at that height. I'm 5' 7" tall and have to bend slightly to view and focus on the ground glass. Not a big problem, but if I were just a bit taller, I would certainly want a taller tripod.
