Hi. Thank you for this review of the Mr. Y LY-224C. May I know after using it for about a year if there were issues that occurred from it? Was it stable or sturdy enough despite its light weight? And would you still recommend this if I'll only use it for portraits, travel, and for good weather-landscapes and cityscapes images? I'm just a hobbyist who just wants a tripod ready when it is needed (like when taking self-portraits of my family that would include me in the picture). Sorry for writing this comment in English as I could not find any review of the Mr. Y L-224C tripod that's in English. Also, I'm considering the Leofoto LX-225CT as well. Thank You.
