This is an excellent tripod. I use it for undergrad portraits. The crank is a little flimsy but not too terrible. The geared action is smooth even with 15lbs of camera and lens. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tripod. I'm blown away, have only had Gitzo. The leg diameter and Twist collar locking legs are easily unlocked and vice a versa. Reasonably light, wouldn't recommend for traveling but perfect for working. The only thing I would like changed is the "flimsy" crank handle. I can see it breaking off if not handled carefully.
