from B&H Summary: ower Minimum height, that is a godsend for macro work or for 'down & dirty' wildlife shooting. The adjustable spiked ends hold up well on soft soil or when set up in a creek.
This tripod is extremely versatile, it can be put in any position imaginable. I spent two days shooting in the slot canyons, where in some spots it is extremely tight, (VERY TIGHT indeed) and the tracker came through with shining colors.
The only thing I would change is the minimum height. I want to go even lower, I might just have Kirk Modify it to lay nearly flat on the ground.
If most of your shooting is in the field and in difficult terrain, then this is the best option for you. Strengths: Solid & Stable for a medium sized SLR system. ElanIIE or N80 + Medium speed super tele, Like a 400 f5.6 or 300 f4 (anything bigger would require the 3221G)
Very articulate and can be put in any position desired.
Tough as nails.
Ligthweight in the field. Weaknesses: The flip-lock levers when tight, are difficult to use, especially when shooting for 6 hours at a time. But it can be adjusted.
inverting the center column makes shooting awkward, especially for small skittish critters. Similar Products Used: Velbon DF40 (ahhhh) Customer Service: none needed
