I LOVE the versatility and easy of use with this pro tripod! It’s worth every dime I paid for it! It has smooth assembly & sturdy for the task of handling the weight of my DSLR camera. I must buy, if you are a pro photographer or amateur photographer.

High end, professional quality, feels more like a Manfrotto. All moving parts are very smooth with no friction and good movement from the head. Comes with a well made carrying case also.

This is a great tripod.

I like the feel and it seems stable for a light weight tripod. The locks are solid without putting too much effort on the screws and I like the ability to slide off center a lot. I would recommend it for a general use tripod. For those hiking looking for ultralight, I still think the weight is a concern.

Very solid build. Handles all my needs whether I’m filming in the studio or outside on a shoot. Love the versatility. I can go from regular tripod to monopod to macro setup within minutes

This thing is like a Swiss army knife. It inverts and collapses to a modest 19" and weighs only 4lbs, but it can turn into nearly anything...A 6 and half foot monopod? Sure.A standing height tripod? You bet.Super sturdy low angled legs? Rodger that.Upside down with an inverted column putting your camera just a hair off the ground? It's got you covered.Taking photos straight down for a book or a decomposition? The center column can slide up and then over.Want a different head, besides any normal 3/8" head? The head screw is reversible so you can directly attach the camera directly or use some weird 1/4" lighting accessory.Is it extra windy and need more heft? Well the built in spring hook makes it easy to add extra weight to the bottom. Need an extra plate or prefer using camera L brackets? The head uses Arca-Swiss style plates, so finding replacements or compatible brackets is easy.Seriously, if you're buying your first tripod (or second after that cheap plastic/aluminum one that came with the camera) you can't go wrong with this tripod... wherever you end up going with your photography this one will help get you there.Are there any cons? Of course, photography is all about trade offs. While this has more than enough heft for any mirror-less and most DSLR use... you may want something heftier, yet less versatile is you're doing video work or using crazy heavy lenses. The feet of the tripod are good all purpose rubberized feet, but it doesn't have spikes which you may need for rocky/sandy locations. If you don't need all the features, setting up a simpler tripod may be faster than one that can do everything. And finally it's good mid-range gear, so eventually, with heavy use the clamps, springs and clips will wear out, but considering the value it provides until that day, it's totally worth it.

Now we’re talking. You don't realise just what an upgrade from glass fibre will make... until you do. And, this big fellah is only a tiny taste of what the pros get to play with.So, no plastic bits... no awkward unscrewing of legs (nice clips)... no ground spikes... surprised, but not upset. Annnd... I really like the pivot arm. Plus... the ball head locks work well, very little movement.The upgrade is especially noticeable when loaded with my 100-400. I’m into shooting landscapes in the ‘blue hour', exposure times of 25-30, or Bulb. Even a gnat landing could cause issues with my previous kit (no offence previous kit supplier). Now, with this beauty, bye bye fuzzy pics !Plus, you get a great bag !Recommended !****Now, Amazon. Where to load my stars...?Lightweight..... *****Sturdiness..... *****Warmth..... ????? What the heck is 'Warmth' ?

I'm very satisfied with this product. Iswas my first time when i bought something from Amazon. 5 star for Amazon, 5 stars for the seller. Also, 5 stars for the delivery.The package was intact and arrived 4 days earlier. I'm gratefull for that.The tripod is quit impressive, quality built and has a lot of features. You can twist everything any way you want. It looks pretty stable and i can't wait to test it.Thank you very much!

Arrived dirty, scratch and dinged up! Super heavy and legs are stiff
