| Pros: | Very sturdy, tall, comes with bag | | Cons: | heavy | |
I wanted a nice tripod that was tall enough that I could stand up straight to use. I also had been though my share of cheap tripods, but was not in position to get carbon fiber. This is the sturdiest tripod I have ever used except for a Cartoni video tripod (a bit more pricey and heavier). This tripod has the twist type leg locks, I might prefer lever type leg locks but these should never break. Although I have hiked 5 miles with this tripod, it's not really for that, that extra height and sturdy legs adds weight. However it does come with a carrying case with a shoulder strap and a carry handle. There is also a small tool kit included that has a velcro strap, I have it attached to the carry handle, and also keep my quick release plate and Pentax remote in it. This is a nice tripod, very sturdy.
Update 19 February 2021
I'm still using this tripod and it is as good as ever, one of the best photography gear purchases I've ever made.
