Very solid tripod that folds down to a small size. It is not as light as other travel tripods, but I am mostly concerned about size fitting into carry-on bags (and stability). The number of legs make it a little bit more difficult to open to full length (more to untwists and tighten). I looked at this model and a Really Right Stuff tripod. This one won out because of its size while being as stable.

Great travel tripod

I use it with Nikon D800 and D3 , with lens 70x200mm and it is very firm,and strong.
