Took it out for a trip to Death Valley. Easy to carry with me, quick to set up and adjust. I usually leave my other tripod at home because I dislike carrying it around and working with it to set up a photo. This one is a breeze to set up. The only issue I had was the screw connecting to the camera would loosen from time to time. Still haven?t figured out why, but it could just as easily been something I was doing. It?s a small inconvenience given how much I liked using the tripod.

Included with the Legends Ray is the impressive AirHed Vu ball head, an Arca-Swiss compatible marvel with a vision panel that allows users to witness the locking mechanism in action. The ball head is paired with the QR-Octa quick release plate, featuring contoured security cut-outs to accommodate security pins, ensuring your camera is safely attached at all times.
