Awesome! Heavy Duty and well built! My husband has only good things to say about this sturdy set up for our Canon 7D and Tamron 150-600 lens! We like to take wildlife pics, but my husband also dabbles in landscape and night photography. Yes, it is heavy, but worth the investment especially in our Nebraska winds, that can be breezier more often than not. Would recommend to anyone!

Adorama site was most helpful in selecting this tripod combo. Lots of helpful information and video. Prices are right on, also.

This product arrived this afternoon but I can tell already i am going to be fine with it. I am an older guy but find the units solid build to be very beneficial. I will be packing this around all the time, often at 10,000 + ft altitudes. It is not that heavy. Will be using on landscapes as well as wildlife photography. I need to have a piece that is durable and stable. This tripod certainly fills the bill. Since the legs have nice foam guards on them it will be easier to shoulder as well spread out the legs on those days that are frozen and below. Slik tripods have been in my inventory for over 40 years. Looks like they will stay there that much longer.

I bought this to replace the tripod I had and it is an improvement for taking timed exposures indoors and out. Solid and easy to change bodies with the quick change mount. This is not your mother's tripod and I doubt she could carry it great distances, but you aren't your mother. Greatest weakness is also its greatest strength--it is heavy so set up may delay wildlife gets.

I just recieved this tripod today, and although I haven't had time to use it yet, it is very well designed and very well built. It is a bit on the heavy side but not so much that it would hinder carrying for landscape photography. The head is also very well built and has smooth steady action for panning. If you choose this tripod/head combo, you will not be disappointed. I am very happy with my choice.

Not a bad tripod, very stable and sturdy. Well-built. Only problem - and it's a major one - is that the quick-release mount included with this model doesn't fit my Olympus e410 - the screw is the wrong thread and the alignment tab on the mount is too close to the screw to fit into the hole on the bottom of the camera. I am going to have to buy another head for the tripod to fit my camera.

I bought this tripod to use with a birding scope, and often I attach a camera for digiscoping. The stability is excellent. I wanted a tripod that's taller than most, to see through the straight eyepiece of my scope when I'm looking up at something (e.g., planets and stars). This one puts my equipment at eye level, even w/o extending the center column. The pan/tilt action is smooth and can be locked with a simple twist. The quick-release plate is easy to operate, and rock solid. I appreciate that all the adjustments -- leg locks, pan/tilt handles, quick-release -- are big and grippy enough to work while wearing bulky warm gloves. The padding on the legs and the bag for carrying are nice touches at this price level. The tripod is a bit heavy for carrying in the field, but overall is great value for the money.
