Excellent design

I use this tripod for interiors and macro. Also HDR outdoor work. It's best for normal use up and down. The laterally extending arm on other models would come in handy but this one works well for me. I love the pistol grip. My only complaint is the location if the bubble. It's in the camera mount instead of being on the exterior. There should be two.

Very happy with this tripod

This is my first tripod ever and I'm very happy with it, it's a very solid tripod and well made. I use it with my DSLR Canon T3i. I highly recommend this tripod for beginners photographers and even for pros.

Durable and Versatile

Although on the heavy side of the scale, this tripod is solid and a great entry-level buy for a tripod. My first trip out involved shooting on hillsides and it worked very well. I was comfortable leaving my mid-level DSLR and a 70-200 piece of glass unattended. Confidence can be enhanced if you use the weight hook on the bottom. Wouldn't recommend it for lumping around the city or woods all day, but adequate for shorter trips.
