Excellent construction, very sturdy. Used for group portraits, low light situations. Very light, twist locks are somewhat more time consuming that flip locks but work well and provide adequate support and a stable platform. I attached a Slik AF2100 to it and the combination it hard to beat.

An excellent light weight tripod for digital cameras, great for backpacking situations with great flexibility of positioning with the adjustable legs. I recommend this tripod for the traveling nature photographer.

I fly a lot on business and this fits perfectly into even my smallest carryon. It's a little slow to set up since it has 4-section legs, but that's to be expected. Great stability to weight ratio at a reasonable price.

Simply a very good tripod at a reasonable price. Easy to use, same arrangement as in earlier models. Easy to attach to backpack due to light weight.
I use slik 714 cf with pistol grip AF1100. It's perfect. I bring this tripod for travelling.
This is a nice, lightweight, carbon fiber tripod suitable for the beginner through casual expert photographer. Add a Slik SBH-280 or SBH-320 ballhead for $100 to $150 and you're set!

I have been very pleased with the Slik Pro 714 CF-II Series Carbon Fiber Tripod. The construction is impeccable, and the carbon fiber legs are beautifully made. The legs will open up to three different angles getting the tripod down to something like 7" from the ground, or floor. I have used this tripod to span creeks and ravines with no worries about its stability.
If I lost this tripod today, I would buy another tomorrow.
