I got this tripod for a variety of uses; landscapes to macro, portraits to travel. It is very versatile, and nice to have carry case to make it easy to bring with me.

Pretty decent little tripod for the cost. To those saying it's too heavy, perhaps eat some more protein based food because this is beyond light.
The only real complaint I have is the leg release locks on the main hub where all 3 attach. It's rather flimsy but very very minor detail and doesn't stop me from using this tripod in any way shape or form. I tested it out for stability on my 1984 Canon AE-1 Program and put my longest lense onto it. Locked everything down and gave things a good wiggle. The tripod held up well and I feel confident taking it out in the field. It's a good height and I really like the twist locks on the legs. It's compact enough that it will fit into the side of a camera back pack with no issues. The carrying bag is decent quality it seems and is a nice add on. If you're thinking about ordering it, go ahead. It's a nice little tripod for the field and folds up quite compact.

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.

Use this with my sony and large lens. 10kg in total. Feels really sturdy, wouldn't worry about it falling/blowing over at all.

As the title says it is light and sturdy. Materials seem to be good quality (haven't had it long so I will update if it breaks unexpectedly) the rotating ball is a very nice touch, makes for some unique shot set ups.
Overall it seems as if it was actually designed by someone that wanted a tripod capable of being used in plenty of rugged situations.
If I was to harp on something it would be the camera mount. Most parts are made from high quality aluminum so I would like to see the mount done the same rather than plastic. As well (this is probably me not mounting it right) but the mounting plate that goes on the camera doesn't seem to fit like others do and it feels loose. I fixed it with a bit of craft foam to get it tight but I would like to see a mounting plate that fits an older camera a bit better.
Solid buy especially for the price.

Very neat to have a usable walking pole included, I used it up a Munro the day it arrived! Very well built and surprisingly stable, even with a big pair of celestial binoculars at height. Everything nicely machined, really good mechanism for the camera attachment. And a good quality bag you can actually use.
