Well built, solid!

I have only used this tripod a few times so far. Seems well built, was easy to setup. Wanted to use this with a gimbal head which will be the real test. Solid.

Very sturdy and well built.

I was really impressed with how sturdy this was compared to its weight. Compared to other tripods in this class I would say that it definitely seems to be on of the most well built.

excellent light weight tripod

Nice, solid, tripod. Attractive finishing. Perfect for my use in studio for a smaller camera like Fuji Xpro. Will not receive a lot of travel wear or weight. I like the option to extend center column laterally. Fantastic price. Ordered and came in two days.

excellent tripod

I had a 'K-Mart' tripod for a few years, and we all know what happened to K-Mart...this one will last a lifetime. Strong, well made and suits my needs. It is priced right and it will suit your needs as well.

Terrible ball head

Vanguard VEO 2 265AB. I really like the legs of this tripod, its very sturdy and lightweight. The big problem here is the ball head, even when everything is full tight , it is very loose. I have a Nikon D750 with 16 35 lens, only 1/8 of the weight it can hold. I added a Mefoto Backpacker ball head replacing the Vanguard. One more thing about Vanguard ball head, the pano screw is very unconfortable, when you shot vertical the camera is very close to it, making it hard to move your fingers.
