Great Tripod

I love this tripod, this is my first choice out of my 3 tripods! I take this thing everwhere, its very quickly setup, yet very strong! Only downside is when I have to take a long hike to setup and I strap it to my tamrac pack it gets heavy very quickly. But I would still not trade it for anything, I love it! Great buy!

High quality for the price!

What a great tripod! I have used similar tripods which cost hundreds more and this one is the best value/cost! Don't need a center column which swivels and tilts? Then this is the one for you. Along with the 486 ballhead, I have shot several PRO assignments and found the tripod and head to be very stable, setup and break down is quite fast, and it looks great! I don't use QR plates so the 486 was a natural choice for the head. I haven't used the low-angle feature, but it's nice to have if I need it someday. Are there better tripods available? Yes. Are you going to find a better one for this price? No!
