Well Made and Great Value
I purchased this tripod to replace an ageing Slik88 and it was well worth the money. It is both very well engineered and made. The pan control is very smooth and the offset bubble level is in just the right place. It even handles a Canon 100-400mm zoom lense without resorting to the tripod mount on the lense.
My only issues with the tripod are with the pan head locking and the quick-release screw head. When using the pan head you can easily end up unscrewing the head from the tripod unless the pan head is really tightly screwed on. The quick-release screw could be a little larger as it is quite fiddly to tighten in the field.
The case is a useful addition but the tripod is a little loose inside. The case could be 'tighter' to be a true travel bag.
