Like this tripod a lot. It is not super light, which you should expect given that the ball head is lager than others and it has extra material to make the transverse bar. I have mine routinely setup w/ a Panasonic G85 and a Sony FX A33, plus attaching cables to it for HDMI signal to the computer.Tripod is very smooth in all of its operations - particularly the pan head. Very nice.The transverse bar slides nicely into its sleeve.The Twist locks stick just a bit on first spin, so a little umph helps. That's OK, you don't want them to be wishy washy.The ball head is flippity floppity - took a little to get used to, so make sure that you maintain a grip on the camera while you loosen the pan head knob.

I really like this tripod; this is a great addition to my photography kit. This tripod is well designed and very sturdy. The versatility is impressive, the movements are very smooth. The weight is on the heavier side for tripods but it does weigh less than an M240B.

I use the Nikon D810 camera and shoot with it without fear that the camera will fall off the tripod. The tripod comes with all the accessories in fast express delivery within a week, I enjoy every moment of this tripod. Thank you very much.

For my setup, this is a fine tripod. It could be more stable by having some cross-members, but for my use, it's stable enough. I replaced the ball head with a geared head because I found my camera/lens would often droop below my focal target after tightening everything up. I would miss the shot I wanted because I couldn't get my camera to stay on target. I would try and aim above my target, but it was total guesswork as to where the camera would settle. I guess that's a common issue with ball heads and super-telephoto lenses (I was using the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary). That issue is gone with the geared head though.The tripod folds up compact, more compact than my previous smaller, less-stable tripod. I don't hike with camera equipment so weight is not critical to me. That said, it seems light enough to me. This tripod is very configurable and so far nothing has come loose (other than the aforementioned focal target issue).

If you’re having difficulty figuring out the 360 function I’ve attached a video. It took me a second to figure it out.This is very sturdy. I love it.I wish this had better instructions. It seems it has a lot of functions not explained.I thought I needed an extra part to make the 360 rotation function work but it’s the 2 knobs above the 2 ball that controls the function.
