After using several brands of tripods over the years, this is THE BEST! It is heavy, durable, extremely stable and strong. Its legs are waterproof which makes it very useful for beach portraits. It can be set from any height from inches to max quickly and easily. It easily conforms to irregular surfaces. For a wedding photographer or outdoor portrait photographer, this tripod is fantastic. Some photographers make the mistake of looking for a light tripod. Big mistake. Heavy means stable, even with long lenses.

As an outdoor photographer, I can not praise this tripod enough. The Unilock sets up on any terrain and folds up tightly when I'm hiking around. It is not as heavy and some tripods and not as light as other tripods. More importantly though, this tripod allows me to get any shot I want. The unilock is especially good because I do a lot of shooting around rivers and the legs can go in the water and mud with no adverse effects.

For reference, the Unilock is similar to a Benbo. When ordering, the company told me that the main difference between the two is that the Unilock folds up better than a Benbo and is more stable and rigid at lower angles. I have not used a Benbo, but I have had terrific results using the Unilock at low and unusual angles, and it folds up fine. I have used this tripod with my 35mm and my Bronica 6x7 - the Unilock has always been strong and rigid.

I recommend the Unilock to any outdoor photography - or to anyone who wants a sturdy, rigid tripod that will go anywhere.

This is a Benbo done right. Wonderfully easy to line up macros, work on very uneven ground, and squeeze into spaces that a normal tripod can't handle.

None signifigant.

This is a Benbo done right. All of the Benbos (except the excellent Trekker) drift, you can not lock down the bent bolt enough. The original Benbo engineers created the "next generation" bent bolt design, used by Uni-Loc, that fixed all the Benbo problems. I purchased this in the deep dark past and it still works fantastically well. I use this tripod for most tripod shots, the small lightweight Gitzo G126 for the times I have to carry a tripod around. Highly recommended if you can find it in the US.
