Bought this as an "open box excellent" which means all original parts and accessories. Well, the MAJOR part, the plate that you screw your camera to was missing making the tripod absolutely useless! And seeing as it was open box they would not replace it, only refund my money if I mailed it back, could not return to a store as it says I could in their own return rules. I did find a company that sells the plate and expecting it to arrive this week. Very disappointed in BB for not standing behind their open box status as to what is in the box. Other than that I think this will be a great tripod and can't wait to use it.

I think it's too heavy. The reason you get carbon is for light weight. Luckily I got this to look cool and it does that extremely well. With isopropyl alcohol you can take the logo off so it looks stealth and more expensive.

It very light , made for carbon fiber, it is ease to use. I am enjoying using in my travels.

This tripod was medium priced. There are cheaper ones but I like the materials and construction of this one. I think it is well made. The legs can be swiveled open to any position. There are a couple of hard stops for a solid hold but the joint is stiff enough to allow use with any leg position. The leg extension clips lock well and I have no issue with slippage. The range of height on this tripod is really good. The swivel head allows for a full range of motion and also allows you to flip you camera or phone 90 degrees for easy portrait/landscape switch. The head does feel a little stiff, but I actually prefer it this way as I don't have to keep locking it down every time I move it. It is very stable in use and it does have a hook built in for hanging a weight for windy conditions. The rubber feet on the ends of the legs are really good. They are mounted on threads and you can screw them all the out when you want the tripod to stand on the rubber. When you screw them all the way in, metal tips are exposed for better stability in grassy areas.

I was looking into getting a tripod for a wedding i shot. Out of 7 tripods, i made the choice of buying this one. Great quality, light obviously since its made out of carbonfiber. I love the look and design. Easy to use. And it extends to the perfect hight. Price is great.
