Exceeds Expectations

"Excellent tripod. Very light weight but strong and sturdy construction. When combined with the F3 head, it's an impressive combination that is more stable than expected. Each of the legs lock in firmly at one of 3 angles. That works well if you need to flip a leg up to prop on a ledge or if you need to work close to the ground.

Okay tripod for the $$$

"This is a relatively low priced carbon fiber tripod, it is lightweight, and fold's up quite small, but there are also a couple of issues I've ran into: Sometimes the telescoping legs get stuck (both in and out) no matter how much you unscrew the ring you twist to lock them in place.

"I like the tripod, I have the smaller version and use it on my BMW motorcycle, it works well but is not as stable as this one. I'm 6'2" and can still use it without undoing the bottom parts of the legs, yet it still fits in the trunk of my Goldwing Motorcycle. Very stable, yet light enough to carry …" Read Full Review »

"It's pleasantly light weight, inexpensive and small, and the center column breaks down quickly to bring the camera close to the ground.
