This Trip is not for the faint hearted, it is a professional heavy duty video tripod. it is made from light alloy but still has a substantial weight to it. The tripod has a 360-degree fluid head for very smooth tilt and pan movements. the head also has a quick release plate. the legs are very sturdy and the height is an adjustable length from 84cm to a massive 1.84m which is great when in a crowd or hide location.
It can deal with a reasonable 17.6lbs in weight so most cameras (DSLR's Camcorders etc)
This is not a lightweight carbon tripod so expect the weight that is needed for the stability of the tripod.
My only criticisms are firstly the spirt bubble on the head for checking level placement are obscured but the camera when fitted and are not that easy to check when no camera fitted. The legs are sturdy enough being made from a light alloy however the clips to fasten the legs at a particular height are made of plastic this may become a problem after constant use. But thats a maybe not a certainty.
This is a great trip pod with loads of good features I especially think the fluid filled head for dampening movement is a good quality for this price .. I would happily recommend this tripod.

Now I understand why these tripods costs so much. This thing is built solid - despite some plastic components that ideally would be metal, but I guess that's on the even more expensive tripods!
It's completely adjustable in all directions, with very smooth action for panning the camera. And the handle is completely adjustable too (left or right handed, angle, etc). And it's tall, I'm 6ft and it's taller than me!
The storage bag is pretty decent too; good quality and easy to carry.
Overall, I'm very impressed with this tripod and think it's an excellent introduction into the prosumer range of accessories.
