Giotto YTL 8354

I found this tripod to be everything advertised. Very stable, well built, very versatile, and very affordable.

Great Value

I use this tripod to take with me on hiking trips. It's extremely light weight and durable. The only thing I wish I'd done differently was get one that supports more weight. With my 5D MKIII, and the 70-200 it's about maxed out. It doesn't take much more pressure for the legs to slip (begin to compress). Aside from that, this thing is perfect. And it's a great value as well. It's hard to find a solid carbon fiber tripod in this price range.
