needed a tripod that can handle the extra weight of a telephoto lens.This is perfect for the task, it feels solid and well built.It is smooth as butter in movements ( all fluid)Perhaps the 4 part kegs could have been 3 part but in all a great tripod for the money.

Great tripod to use in any environment. Easy to use and great versatility!

The tripod makes a solid and high-quality impression, offers a wide range of adjustment options and is very stable in previous situations.
Only screwing the adapter plate to the telephoto lens requires some effort to actually achieve a good hold without unintentionally twisting the position. But this should also be due to the screw-on foot of the telephoto lens itself.
It remains to be seen how long-term the various locks will last, but in my opinion the rotary attachment of the legs is more advantageous than the clamping levers of a number of other tripods used to date.

I love this tripod! Best one I own.

It's nice to be able to get super telephoto shots with a handheld lens. The downside is that the tripod mount comes off easily and rattles quickly. I tightened it and treated it with Loctite.

needed a sturdy tripod for portable astrophotography with my DSLR and a telephoto lens with my little launch tracker. This tripod is VERY stable, just what I needed. Highly recommended for portable space photography!

I bought this tripod and it works great.

This is really great tripod. Light, stable and easy to set up.
