 worth the money for an SLR September 17, 2007

Cliff notes: Do you get your money's worth? YES!
Long version:
The tripod can be easily and quickly adjusted in all directions. It will support weights far heavier than specified, provided that you tighten the friction clamps on the legs and don't spread them out at extreme angles. I haven't tried standing on it, though. The tripod is not overly heavy, but isn't exactly light either; it's well-built and I'm confident putting my DSLR on it, even in the wind.
Converting the center column to horizontal obviously reduces stability, but there is a hook for a counterweight at the apex of the legs.
You will pay good money for this tripod, but you will get your money's worth. I paired these tripod legs with a Bogen-Manfrotto 486RC2 head, which goes well with it.
Sturdy and Well Built October 18, 2007

I selected this tripod after reading many positive reviews on Amazon for Monfrotto 3021BPRO (replaced by 055XPROB). One thing that I noticed right away after getting it out of the box was how well it is made and how sturdy it is. The legs require a little effort to adjust the spread angle but that extra friction built into the tripod ensures that they will not move easily once set. I found all the levers and adjustments to be well designed and easy to use. For the size and quality of the tripod it is fairly light at about 4 lbs. I selected this one over 055XPROB to shave a little over one pound of weight but it is still capable of handling 11 lbs of equipment weight.
Excellent craftsmanship, very practical November 17, 2007

I have owned several tripods over the years, including a larger Bogen, but this is really the best I've ever bought. Not too heavy, sets up quickly and has a lot of versatility, also for low the ground macro work. Highly recommended.
 190XPROB Review February 24, 2008
8 out of 18 found this review helpful
I bought this tripod to use with a Kowa TSN-823 spotting scope based on reviews. This tripod is too small to use with a spotting scope. The slightest wind or the slightest movement of the fluid head causes tripod movement that takes too long to settle. Buy a more substantial tripod for use with a scope.
Excellent, rock solid mount August 14, 2007

Here's a 'pod that's rock-solid, lightweight (4lbs), affordable, and comes with many nice features. The center column can swing out from vertical to horizontal quickly and easily without removing the head or disassembling the column. This rig holds 11 lbs. of camera and can place it as low as 3.3 inches to a maximum height of 57.5 inches. The legs can be locked in any of 4 angles. The bubble spirit level and padding on two of the three legs are nice touches. Excellent tripod!
