Purchased this for an upcoming trip to Canada. It was pressed into duty for a close friend of my wife as I needed to be the photographer for her wedding and then off to Canada.

Pros:
Lightweight and comes with its own bag.
One leg screws off and the main shaft screws on top to make a mono pod.
The head is pretty sturdy and the ball allows for virtually unlimited adjustments.
The bubble level is a plus.
The legs "splay" out for great low level shooting.
Used it with a Nikon Coolpix and it was very sturdy, in particular in the wind. It just needed to be oriented correctly.
Adjusts easily.
Camera can be used upside down as the main shaft comes out and can be inserted in an inverted manner.

Cons:
There are a lot of extensions on the legs, so be prepared.
There are two height adjustments on the main shaft. One that is at the tripod, and the other is at the top of the shaft. Not a bad thing if you discover it...LOL...
Not sure how much abuse this one will absorb so pack it carefully for a rugged trip or pack out. I packed mine in my hardside suitcase.

IMHO, this one is a winner for the casual photographer.
