This turned out to be an amazing purchase. The size of the tripod is ideal for studio and travel. It serves the best of both worlds providing a stable base yet portability. It collapses to 21.3" and weighs only 4.2 lbs (excluding a head). While a series 3 tripod may be sturdier with larger diameter legs, the extra bulk is often not warranted by comparison. The GIT204 will cover 90% of my applications. The optional telescoping center column is likely a future purchase, simply because I like the adjustability for portraits and fashion. On the other hand, the ability to use a gimbal head is ideal for landscape work and an optional bowl will low me to expand into more video work. While not the smallest or the largest tripod, this model is superbly constructed and covers all the bases in between. You also receive a nice carry bag, foot options and quality tool kit.Read full review

Haven't had a chance to get it into the field yet due to weather, but have mounted my camera and telephoto lens and love the feel of it. Solid!
