This is a well built tripod. All the engineering is solid and I've had the tripod in the field several times now with no difficulties at all. It stays locked in the position you place it in. The added bonus is that it has the arm that can hold the camera out over the edge of a deck or dock - which I've already utilized. Highly recommended.

This tripod is a must have for photographers. It is built well. The 360-degree head makes it very easy to put your camera in virtually any position. It can also be adjusted to just a monopod. It is easy to open and set up. It stays locked in any position you place it in. It comes with a nice carrying case to carry it around. I've included a short video to show how to set it up. It is definitely worth its price.
