I’ve taken this tripod with me to Wales, Iceland and Madeira for shooting trips. It’s light enough for carrying on those long hikes up mountains and can easily go into my luggage at the airport.
It’s very stable, with lots of flexibility options when shooting. Even in Iceland when the wind was blowing me over, if I weighed this down with my camera bag I was still able to take some great long exposure shots of the Aurora lights.
Although this isn’t the lightest you can buy, without paying £300+ for carbon fibre I think this is amazing value for money and is light enough for most photographers. The ball head is great and if you want to make this set up perfect get yourself an L shaped mount and this is ideal. (I prefer this to the mount provided for the tripod)

Good versitle tripod. Handy being able to use it as a mono-pod too. Had to tighten a couple of screws but still works fine.

Solidly built and sturdy enough when set up with camera, that folds to a compact size and is reasonably light to carry. Design compromises are reasonable for the price, for example the ball head and its method of attachment to the tripod is quite basic, but gets the job done.

Great height tripod and easy to use ball head. No endless twisting and turning knobs to adjust the ball head. Leveller so never slanted.
