I've had this tripot now since a couple of weeks, and I must say, I'm very happy. It feels sturdy and is stable enough for what I use it for. The fact that I can use it so low down to the ground is great as well. And it can hold 6kg's on top which is perfect. I think I only come to the 3kg's. So I've got a lot more to add on.
One of the reasons I've choosen this tripod is because it can go up very high. I'm 5ft9 and don't want to get backpains cause I need to bend over too much to look into viewfinder. The locks are easy enough to open to get the legs out.
For the money I've paid, you can't go wrong. It even has a PH157Q head to come with it, which will do me for a while. It feels fairly heavy on my backpack. But then again, I haven't got a clue how much the average tripots are weighing. I can't wait to get out there and use it. So I'm a happy chappy with my new toy. I would certainly recommend this tripod to anyone.
