The tripod is sturdy. It is light and easy to reposition. It is tall, so there is no need to bend over to use it.

lightweight and super stable tripod. using it with vortex viper 15x50 binoculars to spot Coues Whitetail deer in Southern Arizona. Helped to seal the deal on a nice buck this past deer season. sets up quickly and even has enough height that I can stand and glass with it (I'm 6' 1").
