The first unit I received was incorrectly assembled. It was physically impossible to attach the bottom spreader, as two of the feet were misaligned by at least 15 degrees. The fluid head also had issues, tilt setting 2 offered less drag than setting 1, and setting 3 was roughly equal to setting 1. B&H replaced it for me and the next unit was assembled correctly.Pros: It’s a nice set of sticks, lightweight, but feels solid. The height is great, and a main reason I bought it. Can see right over the heads of a crowd with no problem. Single locking leg adjustment lever is nice, smooth extension. Dual leg spreaders included (mid level and ground). Camera plate snaps in from the top or slides in from the front or back which is nice.Cons: As others have commented, the ... MoreThe first unit I received was incorrectly assembled.

The fluid head is ok, but you will see some backlash using a longer lens (say, 100mm full frame). I also own an E-Image 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod with GH06 Head and the GH06 head outperforms this head in terms of smoothness and backlash control. But with skill and a steady hand you can get a good result with this head too.I got this on sale and would say it is worth the price I paid for it.

Tri pod was great up until the tripod plate knob would not tighten. Exchanged it for a new one and it had the same problem, but also one of the feet were out of line so I could not put on the floor spreader. I appreciate B&H for helping me out and letting me return it. However I would not recommend this tri pod.

I was pretty skeptical of this tripod when it first popped up, but I was in a pinch for a new tripod... and didn't want to spend $1K+ on a tripod juuuuust yet.Now that I've got this thing, it's pretty awesome. It's very smooth and can get very low (thanks to the handy ground spreader) and also very high. Plus, the legs and locking mechanism are pretty sturdy too. Having only one set of latches to lower and raise the tripod is such a godsend. That's why I detest a lot of the Manfrotto legs out there.The only concerning thing is that the tripod head makes a very faint crunch noise when I pan it. It's not enough to ruin a shoot, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to happen. I've already emailed SmallRig support and they're helping me figure out what's going on. ... MoreI was pretty skeptical of this tripod when it first popped up, but I was in a pinch for a new tripod... and didn't want to spend $1K+ on a tripod juuuuust yet.Now that I've got this thing, it's pretty awesome.
