Review Summary

From being light-weight, to having a tremendous height range, excellent stability, and excellent fluid head with multiple levels of resistance, this tripod ticks all the boxes for me, and chances are, it will for you too. I've now used it on multiple productions of various types, and it held up really well. It is a pleasure to use, easy to set to whichever shot you might have in mide, both in narrow places, and uneven surfaces, super low shots, extra high, you name it - you can do it. Also, the variable resistance of the fluid head is more useful than you might think before trying it for yourself. Lastly, it is very lightweight, so carrying it around is a breeze. Highly recommended!
