I needed a small to mid-size range tripod for macro photography of wildflowers and sturdy enough for a DSLR. I was looking for something about 8"-32" but this was as close as I could find (14"-43").

Very light weight tripod - not very durable + light weight - will likely only use when weight is a critical factor + won't likely hold up to demanding use

I love the solid feel of the legs. Doesn't look or fee cheaply made. Only drawback is the 5 or 10 seconds it takes to deploy due to the three clamps for each leg that must be undone and done to get it set up, but most tripods work this way so it is expected. Very lightweight but strong. Took it backpacking and even walked around with it attached to my camera without it feeling like a burden. I am very satisfied with this purchase. Thanks.
