Well made, but camera shake is an issue when legs are fully extended
Overall I really liked the tripod. It is well made and easy to use. The size I ordered was too small for my height, so I had to test it with the legs fully extended. When I put my Sony 600mm lens on the tripod, the lowest parts of the thin carbon fiber legs warped outward slightly and there was an elasticity to the performance of the legs. Touching the camera caused several seconds of vibrations amplifying from the ends of the legs up to the camera.

This might not be a serious issue if I had ordered a long enough tripod that I would only occasionally fully extend the legs.

I am returning this tripod and purchasing a 79inch aluminum one instead. Hopefully that will not vibrate as much.
