Title: Best bang for the buck!
Review: I've had this tripod for about 10 yrs now and can't see myself ever giving it up! It's one of the most versatile tripods I've ever used. I've used it for video, 35mm and now digital photography and it's always been a champ.The only downside I've seen to it is the quick release locking mechanism. As you turn the lever to lock it, it draws the quick release mount down into the head. You have to be careful not to use a camera with plastic threads or metal threads mounted in plastic, as the locking mechanism can either strip the threads of the camera or pull the threaded grommet through the plastic. I personally feel that this is more of a camera issue and not a SLIK design flaw. Otherwise it holds the camera securely to the head.I highly recommend this tripod to anyone looking for a sturdy yet lighter weight tripod.
