Terrific tripod but note that its Max Load capacity is 8.83 lbs (4 kg) as specified on the box (I just received it). A lot of websites have the same misinformation, apparently due to poor spec download from Velbon. The only "25" is for diameter of top leg in mm's. But a wonderful and stable tripod... but short of my load requirements.
This product is better than I expected.
