" ...  I bought this tripod to replace a Sunpak TravelLite that broke after only a few uses. ... It feels considerably heavier than the Sunpak, however it is superior in every other way.  ...  "

" ...  VERY well built.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Also they even give you your own bag for it and it feels very durable. ... So, its compact, durable, you get a monopod from this (something I have never seen), can change the head of the tripod to your preference, easy to make all the legs from one stick go down in one swift wrist motion, and you get a really nice bag!  ...  "

" ...  - Sturdy durability with this tripod ... - Expensive price point for what other competitors offer in same sort of metal and generic design.  ...  "

" ...  Most awesome tripod!  ...  "
comment
" ...  I probably wouldn't be putting a pro DSLR body on it with a pro f2.8 lens and expect it to be steady, but with a mirrorless camera or APSC DSLR, it's perfect.  ...  "

comment
" ...  The tripod bag is of similar decent quality and very useful. ... I would therefore be reluctant to use it with a DSLR because the sweet spot seem to be mirror-less cameras.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I don't just use this tripod for photography but film and so its cool how i just need to change the head of the tripod with my fluid head (Andoer TP-65 Aluminum Alloy Fluid Drag Head). ... I would recommend this tripod to anyone who is interested in photography or film!  ...  "

" ...  Amazing beginner tripod!  ...  "
comment
" ...  It's also sturdy enough to hold my DSLR camera and a good sized lens (I use several).  ...  "
comment
" ...  I shoot with a Nikon D810 and either a Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8 or Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 - so my setup is over 6lbs at any given point and this tripod did not disappoint with holding steady, and making shake free shots at extreme angles for astrophotography.  ...  "
