Perfect for landscape work and portraits, and entirely satisfactory when photographing wildlife because it sets up quickly and sturdily.

Used with a lightweight camera (under 2 lbs.) but the ball joint did not hold it steady, dropping the front end downward each and every time just enough to necessitate re-framing every shot. Easy to use and set up, but ball joint is reason for lower rating.

The only Con is that I didn't measure what 57" really is... I'm pretty tall, and didn't' take into consideration that I'd have to stoop over a little.. However, that said, anyone of average height will absolutely love this tripod !! It's light and folds down to almost nothing.. It's everything I'd want in a quality ball head, and the construction seems to be extremely stable and strong.. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one if needed ..

I like this combo because you get the tripod and the ball head. The tripod holds my 50D and 70-200 with no problems. The only negative is the 57" height. Not a big problem though.

Great bang for the buck!

SLIK's exclusive A.M.T. super Aluminum-Magnesium-Titanium alloy legs make the PRO 340 BH tripod in black very steady. The A.M.T. alloy has a 40% greater strength to weight ratio than standard aluminum. This makes the legs lighter and stronger than the standard metal used in most tripods.
This compact tripod has 4 legs sections to collapse down to just over 20 inches, making the PRO 340 BH great for traveling and backpacking.
The PRO 340 BH makes setting up easy with secure, speed-release leg locks. Padded leg wraps make the tripod more comfortable to carry. 3-position, multi-angle leg locks allow easy set-up on uneven ground or steps. The PRO 340 BH has a gearless center column that unscrews into two pieces converting the top piece into a short column. This feature combined with the adjustable leg angle locks allows the tripod to be lowered to 10 inches for very low angle or macro photography inthe field.
The PRO 340 BH has stable all-metal SBH-200DQ ball head with easy-to-use quick release. _ The all new SBH-200DQ ball head has two bubble levels built in for leveling of the camera for panoramics or just making sure the camera is leveled when setting up on unevensurfaces. An easy to use all metal quick release system makes mounting the camera fast and simple.
The SBH-200DQ head can be removed and the tripod legs have a standard 1/4-20 mount thread, giving the tripod a wide variety of head options. The legs can handle up to 8.8 lbs of properly balanced equipment.
