Solid performer for a very light-weight hiking tripod.
I had a Zomei 818 that I loved but this had similar capacity to the Zomei but was 1.1 lbs lighter than my 4 lb Zomei and it has the lever releases compared to my threaded rings on the Zomei. Its light weight is amazing considering that it is not carbon fiber (which is much more expensive). It is considerably less stable due to its lightness but if you don't have any significant wind it is not an issue. If it is just hang your camera bag on the J-hook at the bottom of the center column and your are rock solid. If I have to do a lot of hiking up a mountain that 1.1 lbs makes a difference and is my hiking tripod. I had no problem with my Pentax K-3II and a 55-300mm lens--the ball head held fine. The quick release plate is plastic rather than the metal that Zomei has but it seems solid enough... I will see how well it holds up. The Zomei still serves me well as my non-hiking tripod but for the price, I think that this makes a smart move if you need to carry a tripod some distance--especially uphill!
