Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

The gold standard for a reason

I spent a long time agonizing over which tripod to use as my main set of sticks. As a result, I have several pairs. Some of them still get used, but this one is the winner. It's light, reliable, and easy to use. I have an old O'Connor head which is also awesome, but when switching setups from light to heavy, the O'Connors dial-based balance can be annoying because it takes a long time to set. The O'Connor does allow for perfect balance at any weight WITHOUT setting any fluid drag, something the Sachtler cannot do. But as far as speed goes, the Sachtler wins, and sometimes that can make all the difference.
