    Very fluid in in its movements and it locks together very well. Collapses easily for portage and storage in the car.

    This tripod is not nearly as stable as it should be. The locks at the top must be watched carefully as they are unreliable. It has dumped expensive equipment twice now. The fix will be to purchase a dolly to lock the legs in underneath.
