A good choice

I bought this tripod for travel because it can fit my backpack or a bigger suitcase and also it's lightweight so no problem to carry all day long. One thought about the screw on the top of the tripod: it should be mount with the bigger side because most of the heads need that and without a special tool you cannot reverse it. Other manufacturers give this little tool for free with the tripod.
