From the peaks of professional photography to the valleys of amateur videography, the 3Pod Everest T5 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod stands as a paragon of stability and versatility. Designed for both pro and semi-pro photographers who demand the utmost in strength and performance, the Everest T5 is the quintessential companion for on-location shoots across diverse environments.Crafted with a robust 10X carbon fiber frame, this tripod offers unparalleled durability without the burden of weight, making it an ideal selection for photographers and videographers who are constantly on the move. Its innovative center column design not only allows for compact storage but also facilitates extreme low-angle shooting, ensuring that no perspective is out of reach.The T5's leg angle adjustment is a testament to its user-friendly design. With auto-stop leg levers, photographers can effortlessly snap the legs into the next angle position, optimizing setup time and allowing for quick transitions between shots. The twist-lock leg mechanism further enhances stability, enabling precise height adjustments and a secure hold at any desired extension.For those seeking a traditional still imaging tripod, the Everest T5 excels with its steady and adjustable center column. Videographers, on the other hand, will appreciate the half-bowl swivel feature, which allows for seamless leveling adjustments to capture motion with precision. The integrated wind locks in the center column assembly provide additional stability, ensuring that your shots remain unaffected by the elements.The versatility of the T5 extends to low camera angle setups, where the tripod can be used without the center column, freeing you from any leg angle limitations. The inclusion of both a leveling half-bowl adapter and a flat plate option caters to a variety of shooting styles and requirements.Attachment of accessories is made simple with the 3/8" and 1/4" screw holes located on the top of the tripod platform collar, allowing for the addition of lights, microphones, or other essential gear. With the 3Pod Everest T5 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod, photographers and videographers can ascend to new heights of creativity, capturing high-quality, sturdy, and versatile shots that stand the test of time.

I am an all day, every day tripod user, and I have more broken tripods from the last 20yrs than most people have. I really like this tripod.
Pros...
Very sturdy
Tall,
Good leg diameter, easy to carry
1/4 20 and 3/8 mounts beside the head area
Looks great
The tripod bag is more of a hard-shell case and works with the head on as well. In all honesty, I never used a case for more than a few minutes before, I have used this every day.
Several mounting plates
short throw leg locks
Center column is included and a flat plate is included and a leveler is included
Price to this level of carbon fiber is great
Few sharp edges


Cons
A bit heavier than I was expecting for its height (also kind of a good thing)
The mounting screw with the recessed 1/4 inside the 3/8 is not the best. It works but I would prefer a flip-able screw.
The center column twist lock works great, but I wish it was more like the leg twist locks in shape.

Punches above its weight

I honestly can't remember the last time I bought something that felt as utterly well-built as this. I haven't even used it in the field yet and I already love it.
First, it's incredibly sturdy and all of its components look and feel amazingly well-made. It's a touch heavier than I would have guessed, but well worth it for the size and strength.
Second, I love the height. As a tall photographer I'm often left crouching down at my travel tripod's max height. When I invested in a second studier tripod, I was surprised to see that this at its max height was well above my head/eye level. I'd estimate its max height to be between 6'9'' and 7' (>2 meters)
Finally, I love the accessories and configurability of it. The ball head is wonderful, sturdy, and easily adjusted. The 2-in-one 3/8 and 1/4" screws are clever and very functional. Even with a ball head, it's easily panned on a horizontal axis with convenient adjustment levers. I'm just so, so happy with this, especially at this price. I almost love the tripod more than my new camera (which is saying a lot)

Extremely well made, sturdy, and functional. Couldn't be happier. A++

I am in the process of writing a book on wildlife photography techniques and gear.  Consequently, I have bought and tested many tripods and heads.  I had been searching for a really good, moderately priced set of legs that would accommodate a between-the-legs leveling device which I could  recommend.  (I find such devices to be easier to use than any half ball leveler.)  Adorama's half price  holiday special on this model, which included such a device, was too good for me to pass up.  When it arrived I chose that configuration, and thoroughly tested it.  I was pleased to discover that it performed well.  For its weight class it was as stable as any I have tested.   I appreciated the inclusion of its bubble level, which was readable, even when a gimble head was mounted on its leveling platform. I also appreciated the inclusion of rubber grips on two legs as well as the inclusion of a decent case.  (Since I outfitted it with a quick link device to allow me to switch from a point and shoot head to the gimbal one, I chose to replace the case with one that allowed room for stowing the gimbal head in an exterior side pocket.)  I am very pleased with the resulting package and plan to take it backpacking, despite its slightly greater weight than a traveler design, since it is much faster to level and works well with either of the two heads to support even a long telephoto lenses on a full sized, gripped, DSLR.
