This is a very stable platform for video and DSLR use. My equipment is a Nikon D90 with a Tamron 18-270 Zoom and a Canon HV20 video cam. It's reasonably light and folds out quickly.

having owned numerous good and bad 'pods over the last 40 years, i can say this would be a "best-buy" if designed correctly.each leg angle is adjustable and is suppose to lock in place using sliding stops (like a gitzo). two of the three just barely made contact so that on both occasions i've used it, a lock slipped and the tripod started to fall over. i was lucky and caught it each time.[...] its a basic design problem, not just something wrong with my unit. so i modified it myself. two hours of taking it apart and grinding on each lock, i now have a fantastic small/light/inexpensive 'pod i truly enjoy. that is why i gave it any stars at all.if you're good with hand tools, this might be a fine deal for you, but let the buyer beware.

I wanted a sturdy tripod that was not very heavy. This one fits the bill--at only 2.7 lbs without the head. I put a Manfrotto ball head on it (and am changing my other tripods to Manfrotto quick release adapters). Good combination for me.
I have only had it for a week, but I truly am happy I bought it.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint F-1127 Carbon Fiber Tripod, 3 Section Leg Set, Supports 13.3 lbs., Maximum Height 55".:
This tripod is light enough to hike with, but sturdy and stable, because there are only 3 leg sections, so the smallest section is still pretty stiff. The independence of the legs, with adjustable angles, makes it very flexible in uneven terrain, and the reversible center column allows you to place the camera at ground level (albeit upside-down). This makes it great for macro work in the wild, my passion. Also, the built-in bubble level helps with panorama stitch jobs.
