62''/1.6m X series carbon fiber tripod with BH-40 gimbal 25 kg/55 lbs, model X284C2+BH-40L gimbal, ( KF31.040)
SKU: KF09.107
Outstanding stability, satisfied with the 25kg/55lbs max load, I used this for 40 wildlife photos yesterday and it was excellent. I own three other tripods, and this is the most stable of all, but one older tripod is very light and is used when on a hike in nearby mountains. This tripod is best used for studio work, architecture and landscape.

When I pulled the tripod out of the box I knew I was going to really like it. I've bought my share of tripods and still have a couple that I've used for years. This one is light years ahead in quality materials and build than the others. But that is to be expected given the age of the others. And the thing is sturdy. I feel like I could stand on it without it collapsing. I'm not going to try and find out. It is a bit heavier than my Manfrotto, but it is built so much better that it should be expected to be a bit heavier. And that hasn't bothered me.
At first I was a bit concerned about the bowl and how loose it is. But after a few uses I quickly concluded it was a non-issue.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tripod to anyone.

I’ve owned a handful of Manfrotto, Benro, and Slik Tripods... but this one is in another level. I was blown away by how smooth all the actions were on this set of sticks from unfolding the legs to twisting the locks and extending the height... the ball head is incredibly sturdy and easy to adjust, even with a heavy camera+lens combo. I took a chance on this and it far exceeded expectations.

This is my third tripod that I owned and it's night and day in relation to quality to the other models I owner. It's light, the ball-head is well designed and the overall lock system is really well done.

When I first got this tripod it was amazing and it held all my stuff fine.

This is my third tripod and by far my favorite. I can't wait to take it for photography.

Love that it breaks down for storage. Also holds my camera with extra heavy lense with no issues.
