Hello.   I purchased this tripod mainly for the overhead macro shooting capabilities. It's excellent for this, especially when the center column is in the horizontal position. One note, though, in the horizontal position, the center column can't be extended too far when a Sony A7R4 with 90mm Macro lens is attached. It wants to tip over when the center column is more than 50% extended. No worries, however, you can just position the camera to shoot between two of the legs. I used it yesterday fully extended to 68 with the legs at the 23 degree angle - very sturdy. I'm glad to have purchased this tripod, and the service from B&H was spot-on like always. Great product, great service. Thank you.
