Great value for the money. Very lightweight and works well in the field.
I knew this was less expensive than some of the other units out there, so this isn't a surprise. And the unit appears so far to be a decent tripod. I like the carrying bad and it is light. But when we attached our scope to the tripod, we noticed that it wobbled a bit where the head attaches to the tripod. Made sure everything was tight, but still the same. Eventually I took an old small credit card sized thin info card and cut it to place it in the receptacle for the head. Once I did that, it is pretty stable. I wonder if maybe there is supposed to be some type of piece of rubber or something that is supposed to be there, or whether the head piece is just a bit too loose? So it's OK, and probably fine for the price. But if you are looking for a really nice tripod, this isn't it. At least it wasn't for us.
