The tripod is better than I expected. It's not too heavy for me and it is very adaptable. It says 78 inch but it is actually just over 77 inches. Even though the adjustment knobs work great they are not replaceable if you choose to use a different style. I personally would rather have that option. I.E. bigger knobs for my weak hands. I also purchased two L brackets and the tripod works perfect with them. I don't like the tight fit in the bag and was hoping there was a place on the tripod itself for attaching a sling but there isn't. All in all I would buy another one if need be.

Great product! Solid construction, legs don’t bend even when fully extended. Still lightweight. For the price couldn’t be happier. I would put this against others 2-3 times the price. I am using it to shoot videos using a Canon M50 and have no issues with stability. I would buy again!

Used it for hunting to mount binos and spotting scope. Works perfect for a 5'11" person

I use this tripod with an iOptron Skyguider Pro and DSLR for astrophotography. It works great for that purpose as long as I keep a low center of gravity during long exposures. When either the center column or legs are fully extended with that much weight, it does become more prone to movement but that is to be expected. I love how portable and easy to set up it is. It's great quality for the cost.

The ball on top can hold a large amount of weight including my large phased array antenna. My old tripod would droop after a while of holding the weight. This one also allows for the legs to extend really far apart to prevent large objects from being blown over.

I replaced my first starter tripod with this one and I am very glad I did. I have used it for astrophotography, long exposure at waterfalls, and other landscape photography. I carried it hiking at Glacier national Park as well as a couple other state parks near me. It is not the lightest tripod, but it's not bad. I had never used a ball head before and am still getting the hang of that, but it is certainly very versatile. It has done just fine on wet rocks and uneven surfaces in the various places I've used it including a running creek. I've not used the monopod function and have never had to weight it but it's an option with this tripod. Overall I have been very satisfied with this tripod.

It work perfect if you will have a steady camera. But it didn't work for me because a need to constantly adjust the angle view. But overall is a great piece of wear for outdoor pictures.
