Best tripod I've ever owned

I love this tripod. It is my third tripod I have ever owned, and it is BY FAR the best. It is sturdy, sleek, goes very tall when extended, and compacts down nicely and goes in it's own storage bag.
I can't quite figure out how to level it sometimes without adjusting the legs, but maybe that's just how you're supposed to level it? I still get it leveled though, so it's not a big deal. I just kinda feel like I'm missing something on figuring that out.
GREAT TRIPOD. LOVE IT.

Great if doing large wide-angle views and not tracking (set it and forget it).
Absolute crap if trying to track movement across time or trying to center while zoomed in (ie. astro photography). There are knobs and the handle to loosen to move, in large steps - no smooth movement, tighten to lock tripod in place, but as you are doing that, the tripod moves significantly and you lose the object you're focusing on.
Don't let the product name fool you, it is crap.

Over priced. Bad quality. It cannot handle a intermediate pair of astronomy binoculars well in light breeze with excessive turbulence. I do not recommend.

I am so glad I ignored the guy who said it wasn't 72", There is a crank you turn that allows the shaft to slide up giving it the extra height. Its compact when not in use, and gives me more that the height I need for creating great angles. This was a steal for the price!

I received this as a christmas gift after specifying that I need a 72 inch tripod. I took it out of the box and set it up, the maximum height is 56 inches. I've checked over the instructions to see if I'm missing something, I am not. The man in the photo on the box is hunched down looking through his camera. I'm very mad that they can advertise this as a 72inch tripod when from top to floor it is 56 inches. I even measured the extended side to the top to see if that is where they are getting the number and that is about 58 inches so that is not it. taking this cr*p back.
