Review Summary

I've used a lot of tripods and this is by far the best setup I've used for light to medium sized cameras. The Fluid head is silky smooth with plenty of drag flexibility for both pan and tilt. I wish the camera plates weren't ($) each. But that may be my only complaint. The sticks are rock solid with almost no flex. They also go very tall and very close to the ground. Great setup. I own 2 now.
