Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This tripod compares well with Gitzo but for a lot less money. But you will probably what to replace the included head with a nice ball head (I am REALLY liking my Markins M20).

Pros:
Folds Small, Good Stability, High quality construction, Lightweight, Unfolds Quickly
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I particularly like the fact it fits inside 20" - 22" carryon luggage and by changing to a simple ball head I can lower the weight considerably when backpacking. Very stable. Oustanding quality/price ratio.
