Overall a nicely made tripod. I used it on concrete with a Nikon D810 and 24-120 F4 lens. That camera setup seems a bit top heavy. The tripod is so lightweight you run the risk of tipping it over. So, be careful when using a heavy camera. The tripod is quite stout and rigid given it's weight. But it does have resonant shake. I had to use vibration resistance even with the tripod. All movable parts are nicely smooth and damped for a nice finished feel. I moved the unit several times and the leg joints didn't loosen. The unit is so light it's almost surreal. I can imagine carrying it around all day without a problem. The leg joints are rotating, making them a bit slower than flip latches. But they are very secure. One thing I don't like is the manufacturer's caution NOT to carry the unit, loaded. over your shoulder. The resonant shake is greatly reduced with the center post not extended. Overall the unit is great for outdoor, portable use. It is not what you want for studio work. Ideally, you would want to use a remote shutter release, as it is difficult to depress the shutter release without getting some shake.Read full review

The weight is right for backpacking with a full frame Pentax K1 DSLR and the Pentax 24-70mm/f2.8, but maximum stability wise, I'd simply leave off the vertical column at home and not use the last lower segment of the tripod. In this configuration, the tripod is short, but relatively stable. I've seen more expensive lightweight carbon fiber tripods be less stable for a lot more coin. Sort of a good value here. This tripod saves me and my back 45 oz compared to my MeFoto. On the backpack hike, I will loose the tripod case and maybe the big 24-70 zoom and might go to a 20mm/f2.8 and a 77mm/f1.8 primes to save even more weight. The goal is some Milky Way shots on Kalalau Beach on Kauai this June. This tripod means not I have three (actually 5) for all occasions from 2 1/4 square film with casters for weddings & studio to now an ultralight backpacking one.Read full review

Super compact to fit for travel. However, this is more an "emergency" tripod than a functioning tripod. Not sure I will trust this with my DSLR for a self-timing photo. It's also really SHORT. The part where the three legs come together are at my hip level. This means that I will have to be wrecking my back while taking pictures.

It's the lightest ans smallest tripod I have ever received, yet it extends to to a stable functional height. Perhaps its most amazing design feature is the fact the the head can be removed, the vertical post put aside, and with its legs in a virtual gymnastic split, it becomes the lowest tripod I have ever seen; one capable of supporting my heavy Sony a99 and Zeiss 24-70 lens. Only one thing would make it even better and that would be the ability to remove one of the legs and join it with the already-removable vertical tube and head, to create what would have to be the world's lightest monopod. I would even be willing to but a separate leg attachment to create that monopod.
