                  My wife and I used it on a shoot a couple of days ago and it worked great. It's light enough that my wife could carry it and our camera with ease. Oh yea, she is only 5ft and 91 pounds. It's very stable as well.

                    I purchased these sticks to travel with by plane. They folded small enough to fit in our checked baggage (unlike our other sticks) and were very light. Our checked baggage was just barely under weight with all the metal light stands, so it was great to have these legs. They also extend to be very tall. Just about 67". This is taller than our other tripods and they still hold a lot of weight.

                        I have always used "crutch" aluminum tripods for video until I bought this one. I have used carbon fiber for still work so this was the first time I have used one for video and I really like it. Surprising rigid and quick to set up.
