I finally got around to replacing my broken tripod (a Slik purchased in the 80s). I knew that I wanted something with carbon fiber legs and have the ability to change heads. My budget max was $300. This tripod more than meets my needs. It is very sturdy. I am completely satisfied with it.

Not as light weight as I expected with carbon fiber legs. Most advertising focuses on saying: “Light weight with pay load up to 15.5 lbs.” I had to search to find its weight “5.3 pounds”. Still, it’s a keeper. Bought one for Still photography, and I like the multiple levels and graduation lines on the adjustable areas of the tripod. Bought one for video, although it is not built for that. I will keep it also, because it fits a need.
