Review Summary

I wanted a second tripod for hiking and selected this one. It was a good choice. It is pretty light (especially when compared to my full size RRS), reasonably stiff and has all the flexibility I need for my landscape work. I say reasonably stiff since you really can only use three of the four leg extensions. The fourth one makes the tripod too wiggly for my work. I like the fact that the legs fully flip over to make the overall small enough to fit in a carry on. The ball head is a good size for this tripod and I have shot successfully with it out to 200mm. It is Acra compatible. The center post is also very useful and the unit comes with a fixed center post if you want that little bit of additional stiffness. I doubt it makes that much difference though. If I have any gripe it is that I am spoiled by my full size tripod and I absolutely have to use this one on one knee (I am 6' tall). It works well for what I bought it for...a hiking tripod and for use for time lapse shots when I am working a scene. I would recommend it.
