This is right out of the box, and I haven't had time to wear-test it.
But I've tried out all the features, and the one warning is this: It's so versatile that you need to allow setup time for each shoot, so you can adjust all the joints.
It's tall, unlike those 'travel tripods' for 800 bucks.
It's strong in the center column, unlike the old aluminum twenty-dollar tripods.
The ball-joint head flips quickly into portrait mode, unlike a video industry tripod.
The boom feature adds the ability to spy down on a tabletop for food photography.
It's full of angle markers, and has a bubble-level built-in. It's almost a surveyor tool.
The quick-release is Arca, so it's interchangeable with task-specific accessories.
And it even has the hook to hang a sandbag for additional stability.
Just one question: The documentation isn't showing me a place to attach the included allen wrenches. I guess I need to dedicate a pocket. And be prepared for the reverse-spider packing mode. That's not going to be intuitive for a lot of people.

It looks like good quality, I just wish it included the screws for mounting it on dirt floors.

The tripod is very versatile, perfect for food and jewelry photography. I love it because it can also be used for filmmakers doing panning shots since it moves without getting stuck, and it also has a monopod for placing the camera at different heights.

Lightweight, comfortable tripod with a world of options thanks to its configurations, I love it.

It is indeed a great tripod! I bought it after I returned the cheaper ones. This one has all metal parts. Easy to manipulate. The only issue is that the top fixing handle is impossible to rotate whilst the cam is inclined towards it. Not a big deal. The horizontal crane bar works great. It's a bit heavier thanthe cheaper ones.

I have bought so many different tripods over the years and this one is by far the most well designed and well built one I've ever had. All of the adjustments are super granular and easy to change and everything is really stable. On top of the added benefit of the flexibility of this tripod it really can't be beat. Being able to adjust the tripod to get really high was exactly what I needed and even at a really high level it stays very stable. You can also adjust it at a 90° angle so that way you can put the camera over the desk, which is exactly what I've needed. Without a tripod that can do this getting shots over a work area is so much harder.

First thing - it's very sturdy and stable! So many angles let you make smooth adjustments on the fly. Definitely more than I expected, and a great value. Making adjustments are very easy, and once it's locked down, it's very sturdy. Was great to use for video and making smooth movements to track the action. Overall a great tripod!

Talk about versatility! I have been through several cheaply made tripods over the past few months, and finally landed on this one. Man I'm happy i found it. As a beginner YouTuber, I needed a tripod to be as versatile as possible to get as many angels as possible, and this tripod does it all! I also appreciate most of it is made from aluminum and not all cheap plastic. The build quality is amazing! Well worth $99!

It's so easy to use and not heavy. I truly hate tripods but this one I don't hate. Folds up nice, very sturdy.
