Great tripod
The tripod feels sturdy even with large lenses on it.
Moving the head is different to get used to. I’m used to a literal bar that you hold and twist & this one works a little differently... you just move the camera... so easier but when you’ve been doing it a different way for 30 years it’s a new way of thinking. Being able to convert to monopod is handy as you don’t have to carry both but the process does take a minute. If I know I need a quick change from tri to mono I still bring both with me.
Overall I’m pleased, especially for the money.
This isn’t my full time gig right now, so I’m going to shell out hundreds on a tripod. If I used it on location 8 hours a day & was tossing it around a lot really sort of abusing it, I’m not sure how long this one would hold up. But time will tell & for me as a side gig... it’s perfect & I suspect will be with me a long time.
