excellent for macro photography
I am very pleased with this tripod. It is a unique combination of a boom-type center column that can be positioned at any angle, plus the center column is geared, which makes it even more precise in its movements. The tripod is quite sturdy (considering its low weight), and appears to be well-made, with metal used in most areas, not plastic. The head is nice, for a small ball-head. It is about the same size as a Manfrotto 484, and somewhat better... Show More

Nice Tripod!
I really like this tripod. I was looking for a general purpose tripod that would also be more useful for macro work, without spending a ton of money. This fits the bill nicely. I especially like the extension arm that can be move to any position on the ball head and then cranked in and out, which is especially useful for macro work using manual focusing. There are other, more expensive tripods, but I can't justify the price (I'm not a pro). The l... Show More

Tripod el loco
It comes with quick release with the release lock trigger remaining in the cocked position until you snap the quick release shoe into place. Very lightweight & a nifty bag that is easy in & out. This offset tripod is comfortable for my 63' frame while in the bag as well as out. The ball head is a great plus & the offset of the middle tube is simply stellar. I secured a 40lb dumbbell to the tripod positioned the camera to shoot out the 27th floor ... Show More

Great Product!!!
I am absolutely pleased with this stable and versatile tripod. It is rock solid and sturdy. I use it primarily as support for my Nikon D7000 when doing close-up photography. (Flowers, coins, small objects) It is very easy it is to position; it can be adjusted to a high as well as very low to the ground and every ware in between. Easy to set up and get everything level. It is a very high quality product.

Light weight, good quality, but lacking in stability
This tripod is unique in that it provides great flexibility in DSLR live view shooting/video shooting due to the ease in handling, quick and smooth geared/twist lock handle. Not recommended for Canon 5D/grip class of cameras with mid telephoto/long macro lens combination, as this posed a challenge for the light weight tripod in the stability department.

Cleverly versatile in every way!!!
Needed to upgrade my tripod and found this guy. It has many features I found myself needing while progressing through the challenges of many shoots. This tripod incorporates a 180o center column tilt that can be set at a 90o lateral or any other position. You can tell a photographer came up with this tripod for its intuitive ergonomics!!

Wish they made a heavier duty version of the same design.
Bought this for doing macro work or getting my camera up over railings with wide angle lenses. The tripod isn't that heavy duty but I knew this going into it, I truly wish a heavy duty carbon fiber version was produced with this unique and very useful design.

I'm not disappointed in this tripod
This tripod is truly versatile. I would have preferred to have my choice for the ball head,e.g. arcs-swiss. I have only used it around home so far.

Very nice and sturdy
I am using this for more than an year and I love this one. Just not giving 5 star because of the weight. Its a little on heavier side for me!
