5.0 out of 5 stars Fast set up and sturdy
Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2022
Overall, I love this new piece of gear. I only have two issues with this tripod, both with the head.

1. While it can point directly down, it cannot point directly up. While maybe I'm missing something simple, I think you'd have to turn the quick release plate around to do that. (see photo for how far it does go)

2. The highest levelling handle doesn't have much range with tension. It's stiff and takes a good crank to get it to be totally tight.

Thoughts:

- I love how fast this tripod sets up; the leg locks are excellent.
- It's a nice upgrade from shorter travel tripods. I'm just over 5'10" and when it's fully extended, the camera sits just above my head. Handy for situations like heavy brush in forests, etc.
- The rubber grip on one leg is solid and a nice upgrade from cheap foam ones.
