    This is my first tripod purchase; I bought it for my Canon T2i. So far I’m really happy with it; I’m 6’4 and it stands high enough at full mass that I don’t have to bend down too much. I have had it out in the mountains of Wyoming and it has performed well. It feels a bit heavy but gives a sturdy feel. The quick release is nice and feels solid when in place. My only complaint would lie in the clips that lock the legs at various angles; my hand seems to always find those clips and they release easily. No biggy, just need to watch where my meathooks land. Will definitely keep Slik in mind for future needs.

    I gave a five star review because it is great for what the tripod was intended for. I wanted to use it for videography and am not happy with it because I didn’t realize that I wanted smooth movements from start to finish during pans and tilts – well I did realize that I wanted that -but I didn’t realize that I needed a fluid film head to achieve that effect. So I ended up spending $150 + on a different tripod head and a converter screw ($10) that will allow my new tripod head to fit on this tripod. I am keeping the product instead of returning it because I really like the tripod legs – they are super sturdy, and built to last. This tripod will be great for you if you are doing home videos, still photography (although you may want to buy a level to mount on your camera), or locked-down videography. However, if you want to do fluid-movement – you can take my route and buy this tripods legs and a different head.. or just invest in a fluid tripod made for film…… I feel silly for making the initial mistake, but thought I’d share in case anyone else was about to do the same. Again, I gave it 5 stars because it really is a great tripod for its own purpose.

    I just wanted to let you know that the head does not have a bubble level that is ubiquitous nowadays. I recommend it if you need a good solid portable leg and want to use a separate bubble level or change the head anyway.

    I strongly recommend Slik AF2100 pistol grip head for this tripod leg. As a travel tripod I couldn’t find a better combination at any price range.

    This is a solidly built triopd. Can’t beat the price for this kind of quality.
