Slik Pro II Tripod - Gunmetal Finish - with Three-way Panhead

I am a beginner when it comes to modern DSLR photography. As an older woman, I needed something that was light weight and easy to set up quickly and simple to figure out. I simply don't have the strength anymore to deal with a heavier tripod. This product fits the bill to a "T". I find it to be quick to adjust, and I like the clip-style leg catches and the fact that the legs are adjustable at different angles. I am looking forward to getting some great shots using this tripod in the Northern Rocky Mountains.

I use this unit exclusively with my Panasonic GH3. Even with the 100-300mm (200-600mm) lens, I have no problems with stability. However, I do not use the "center post" on this tripod, or any other tripod that I own. In fact I even removed the center post in order to get the lowest possible angles.

This tripod is light and folds small, making it easy to carry around in a backpack. I bought it for use with a micro four thirds camera and it certainly feels sturdy enough to support this. My one complaint about this tripod is that the one I received was missing one of the two handles needed to properly control and lock the pan head.

This tripod is so easy to set up. You can be shooting pictures within seconds. It is sturdy and lightweight.

I use this tripod for hiking. It is a trade off between light and real stability. I use it with an Olympus E-30. When you put the 50-200 lens on it is marginal but functional. The quick locking legs are a plus and have given no problems through about 10,000 photos. I keep the camera on the tripod all the time so I am always moving the legs. I use a 2 second delay on almost all my shots so it gives it time to stabilize. High winds can be a problem. It is trade off. If you want to pack more weight for the additional stability, then get a heavier tripod.
