Amazingly light, compact and stable.
Despite reading the reviews, I was still surprised by the compact size and weight of this tripod. The components are all of quality, they are well finished. I'm 185cm tall and I'm using a Pentax K1 with battery grip and 24-70mm f2.8 lens. It's a big, heavy camera setup. My immediate concern was that the tripod would be too short and if I flip the camera vertically the tripod could fall over. To my surprise, fully extended, the camera viewfinder is almost too high for me. This puts the lens above most people's heads when you're in a crowd and most DSLR cameras have a tilting LCD screen that lets you see anyway. It's also fairly stable for its weight. There was no danger of the camera falling horizontally or vertically. I wouldn't risk it on a windy day though.
There are 3 separate knobs on the ball head for locking rotation, ball tilt and camera base plate. All very solid. The base plate also has a really nice bubble level and compass to help you point the tripod north for astrophotography.
If you are a hiker or traveler I recommend this for value for money only.
