Best all-around design I've used
Sure, extended to its full height outdoors, this isn't the sturdiest place to mount a camera. If you so much as breathe heavy on it, your camera will shake a bit. But for a commercial photography setting, this tripod has become a valuable part of my real estate kit. I have been using the Manfrotto XPRO series for years, and this tripod raises the functionality bar a whole step with the ability to invert the center column and shoot stable all the way to ground-level and even below if you need to shoot in a hole for some reason. I will still use my heavy aluminum X-PRO's for those windy days or when I'm sporting huge, heavy lenses like the Sigma150-600mm; but indoors and calm-air exteriors I've been shooting almost exclusively with this tripod in the week and a half since it arrived and I really like it. If it fails me at some point, I'll update.
If K&F were to make a beefier version of this model, I would try to be the first to order it. Double-thick legs and heavier locks plus the 8-foot reach and to-the-ground shooting would put the Manfrotto line to shame.
