i luv this thing, exactly what i wanted, something i could shrink down and pack on trips and still use full size when i want to, very well built unit, the leg locks are very solid, came with so many options, tall short,mono pod etc, the carry bag is awsome, very heavy duty, this is just what i was looking for.

Cannot say enough about how good this is: versatile in so many ways, and still relatively light and compact. Definitely rugged, and easy to use. Might not be as fancy or well-known as some of the other brands out there, but solid.
For really heavy locked-off shots I have a tripod that weighs 4-5x as much, but if I want something that can do the job, can be weighted, and still have a lot of flexibility, this is the one I go to, and don't have to worry about flimsy legs or lack of features.
5.0 out of 5 starsNot the biggest name but the best built.

Well built. Not too light ( wind movement ) & not to thick and heavy ( gets left in the car ). Has many transformation oppositions. Very versatile. Relatively light and compact for transporting. Generously padded caring case with shoulder strap. You can stop looking & get this.

Works perfectly. Easily adjustable from table tripod to mono-pod and back to full sized tripod. Feels secure with a Canon 5DS and 28-300mm lens plus battery grip - HEAVY! Ball head good and stable. Not the lightest travel tripod but more than good enough. Would I buy another if this was lost - yes!
