Outstanding

I have neurological issues and it generally means I have to use a tripod. Tripods are not particularly useful in a studio unless you are shooting from one height and your subject is stationary. Up down movements or lateral movements are inherently cumbersome and time consuming. I had a chance to use a big studio titan a couple of years ago and had debated on this one for quite awhile. I am very glad I pulled the trigger. The stand has easy move casters that are apparently a recent update. They lock when needed and the stand will park to avoid randomly rolling on semi-level surfaces. It comes with a nice bag and at around 18 lbs with my tripod head attached it is easy enough to bring along. The bag is not overly large. The unit is very tall. As I am a bit of a giant this makes it especially useful compared to a tripod. The stand itself is rock solid stable. Raise or lower the camera to your working height (a very big range), let go of the trigger, screw in the set screw and you are done. I can try and rattle it with heavy gear and as long as it is locked down it won’t budge. Two minor gripes. 1) The sliding motion up and down is a little rough. Without the set screw in place the arm will jiggle a bit and it tends to catch where the pole sections meet. Not the end of the world, but it is more pronounced with heavier gear. 2) the trigger requires a bit of effort to squeeze. Probably easier for my large hands. Would imagine it could be difficult with smaller hands.

Could be better

Pros: Sliding up and down on the vertical axis is incredibly useful, it's very portable for transport, good build, quick setup Cons: Very wobbly especially when mid level and higher, chrome finish is highly reflective, should come with feet if you don't want wheels Conclusion: I needed to customize the stand a bit for my needs, and I wanted this stand to be better overall; if they can figure out how to stop it from wobbling without having to wait a long time (I've sandbagged, locked down the legs, and even then you'll get a bit of wobble if you so much as breathe near it) then it would absolutely be great. Maybe it's not possible due to the compromise of making it portable, but that's the most glaring issue for me. Otherwise changing the finish and having feet instead of wheels would be very easy and welcome - I sanded the finish off to have it be matte, and added my own feet to replace the wheels, but not everyone would be willing or able to do so. All in all it won't replace my normal tripod, but as a secondary option when I need to change orientations quickly or shoot super low (and not have to layer shots) it's really hard to beat the ease and convenience.
