Nice
Purchased this tripod to use in addition to my heavy aluminum Induro tripod. This tripod is used mainly for landscaped photography.

This is a very nice setup to pack around. This tripod also has spiked feet when needed. A nice feature also. All in all, a nice light tripod to carry around for landscape or wildlife photography.

good quality
I was looking for a light weight tripod to fill in for my Manfrotto 3021. This should work for what I need and the price is right.
