Title: Pretty Good
Product review: This is the third tripod I have tried. I really wanted something a little lighter that the 4.4lbs of this unit, but I compromised because I wanted to the flip lever leg locks. I tried an aluminum Manfrotto that was similar to this model, but it was too heavy. I then tried a SLIK 814 CFII and if it had not been for the pain in setting it up and taking it down I would have kept it. If SLIK made a model with lever locks I would be all over that. I would happily shell out the higher $$ for a Gitzo as well if they had lever locks on the legs. I will probably end up buying a monopod as well for travel as I don't see it being very practical to haul this one around. All of that said, this is a fine unit that sets up quickly, is sturdy, lighter than aluminum and has the added bonus of a spirit level. I would recommend this unit to others who feel the same way I do about twist to lock tripod legs.
