I use this tripod for landscape photography, taking it out at least once a week on photography hikes in the Peak District.

Weight - this tripod strikes a great balance between sturdiness and easy of carrying. Attached to my pack it adds very little perceivable weight, considering some of my hikes can be 15 miles + this of great benefit.

Stability - I quite often encounter high winds when shooting, the tripod stands up fantastically with no shifting, flexing or any sign of being lifted off its legs. The ball-head is also very solid, staying locked fast in position. For perspective I'm shooting with Nikon D750 and moderately weighty lenses so this may contribute to the stability of the rig, providing a fair amount of force down the legs to keep it planted. Likewise, I've used this tripod in fast flowing water and have found it to be perfectly stable in this type of situation. The most extreme conditions I've used the tripod in were during the snow and wind storms of early March, where I used this in gale force winds and full blizzard conditions with no issue.

Height - if you shoot at or above eye level and don't like extending the center-column, you may want to consider a different tripod. As someone who likes to shoot from below chest height most often and lower, it's perfect for me, minimising the size of of the tripod whilst folded.

Fittings - the latches on the legs are nice and bulky allowing them to be gripped and operated easily whilst wearing gloves, or just firm when not using gloves. The rings used to lock the center-column close down firmly and stay locked.
