    I purchased this before heading out on a two week vacation to several National Parks. It worked great with my Olympus OM-D E-M10 Micro Four Thirds DSLR. (This camera is a bit smaller than a full-format DSLR.)

    Well built tripod. Not the easiest of tripods to use in the sense that it takes a little while to set up compared to other tripods I have owned. Something to consider if you have to move around a to and get moving subjects in your photos, but over all does the job.

    The size and weight of the tripod is great. Not very happy with the pan and tilt function; the top frequently becomes loose and bobbles the camera after panning. Need better adjustments for this feature.

    I just used this tripod during an Alaskan cruise. It worked great. Very rugged and sturdy, plus it looks nice and masculine. Love it.

    I got this expedite panning long shots. It made photographing glaciers in Alaska much easier from onboard a cruise ship.

    Its a very well finished tripod. But it was not as sturdy as expected. It was wobbling a bit in beaches in here in chicago. It might work well in less windy places.

    Perfect to set up on bleachers or the ground. The extension twists can be a little annoying but they are secure.

    Great middle priced tripod. Very stable with a lot of adjustments. Holds up in the wind. Has alternative pointed feet to replace the soft feet for appropriate applications. Come with back-up parts which is even better! Folds up to a nice compact size. only downside is it use knobs and not handles so can be difficult to adjust. Up side is there is no removable handles to lose and is faster to setup.
