For the price this is a nice tripod. Light, easy to adjust, and smooth/simple operation.

Super Solid

I wanted to use a straight scope while standing, which required a stouter, heavier tripod. It’s easy to fold up and carry over my shoulder while birding and quick to set up on demand. Definitely not a back packing tripod, but neither is my scope.
