Super Sturdy, High Quality Fluid-Dampened Head Tripod
This tripod was impressive from the moment I opened the box. It comes packed in a beautiful and thick carrying case with a couple of handles so you can carry it like a briefcase. There's a couple of loops on the bag's body on either end, presumably for a shoulder/crossbody strap, but mine didn't come with any strap. That's too bad, because while it's not overly heavy this tripod is no lightweight and being able to carry it over the shoulder would be highly practical in many situations.
The quick-disconnect cold shoe comes with 3 different sized threaded connectors for basically anything that can mount on a tripod. The shoe is long and can be moved forward and back while still being locked to the tripod, then you secure it with a side mechanism once you've got it in place. The entire head is mounted by a gimbal-like ball mechanism so if you're set up outdoors or on uneven terrain you can always level your head before shooting. A built in bubble level makes sure you get it flat every time.
The fluidity of the head makes taking panning shots a dream. No worries about quick jerks of the camera with this guy, everything's a smooth, measured move for easy shooting. The arm or handle can be positioned in many ways and moved to either side of the head so you've always got the handle just where you need it.
The legs are double-pole legs giving them all added stability. The locking lever mechanisms really hold tight and the legs are solid as a rock once extended and set. And this thing gets TALL with 3 segments to each leg you'll find this tripod gets high enough to shoot over a crowd.
The specs say it'll hold up to 17.6 pounds, but this thing is so sturdy I wouldn't be surprised if it could hold a lot more. I wouldn't recommend pushing the load limit, though, as this is too nice a tripod to chance breaking it. Sure, it's not cheap, but it's well worth the current asking price. Taking into account the quality, durability, functionality, features, and price I'd say this is a fantastic value on one of the best tripods I've ever used.
