There's some plastic involved in the construction of this which worries me slightly in terms of overall strength and therefore longevity. However it does feel stable when it's put up so as long as you're careful with it it should be fine.It's not something I'd want to carry around with me, but it would be ideal for something like a wedding videographer who needs a good stable base that can be moved around the venue with relative ease.Setting up and adjusting the height is easy. Getting it level is a bit tricker since the bubble level is obscured by the top plate (and possibly the camera if one is installed on it). The actual adjustment is easy though so maybe adding another small bubble level on top of the camera or somewhere else convenient would solve that issue.The fluid head is very smooth and feels great to use. You could easily get some nice smooth panning shots with no jitteriness. I like that the handle can be fitted to either side of the head so it can be set up for both right and left handers.The carrying bag is nicely made from decent fabric and has a bit of padding.I wouldn't feel out of place using this in a professional capacity.
