Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I bought this tripod to replace a cheaper Slik that I bought two years ago. The biggest lens I have used with it is a 100-400 Canon L lens. I had no worries that it would fall over though it would be nice if the hook on it was a little bigger so I could have more versatility with what I could hang from it to weigh it down. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good sturdy tripod that can't afford a carbon fiber one just yet.
