I bought the 66" Carbon version and have been more than impressed with it so far. I read one review just before purchasing that had me slightly worried - something about the legs not going wide enough to allow it to be sturdy... i can confirm that this is certainly NOT the case! In the standard setup the tripod legs are clearly more designed for height than stability, however with the flick of a switch (or 3) you can easily widen the stance of the tripod as seen in some of the product photos, and this allows for the steadiest of holds for the longest of shots. I went to Lytham St. Anne's on a windy day to do some test shots with my 10stop ND filter, and was amazed that I managed to get crystal clear results - NO shake whatsoever.The quality of this tripod is way beyond my expectations for the price and I would happily recommend it to anyone - i haven't even been paid to write this review!If i could have one very minor gripe in terms of the design of the ballhead, this would be that my camera pretty much covers the built in bubble level therefore rendering it almost useless. I shoot with a canon 6d (24-105mm lens, which is pretty heavy!) - it's not exactly huge as far as DSLRs go, so I'm pretty sure anyone with a DSLR will have the same issue... though you can always use the in-built level... or your eye!
