Very sturdy tripod, all "connections" where legs pivot are sturdy. Moving parts lock down very well. Has the ability to turn the center post over and shoot "upside down".

Could me a bit taller and the screw-in locks for the legs are a little more time consuming than I thought it would be. Also, if you want to turn the center post upside down, that's a bit time consuming as well.

If you're looking for a good tripod at a decent price, this is a good bet for you...novice, amatuer, or pro. If you want a super high quality tripod, try spending a lot more money on something else.

Haven't had to use, and don't plan on needing too. This is a very sturdy tripod.
