Stability outside in the wind and such requires a heavy tripod and this one delivers. It is advertised as a video tripod and it is great for video but it is also capable if you're taking portraits in the studio, just turn the quick-mount plate sideways on your camera. I am very happy with this investment.

This is a nice tripod for the money however it is probably better suited for those seeking to use with a larger video camera and not a DSLR for still photography only. My bad. I had to fabricate a spacer to raise the camera high enough to be able to tighten the quick release clamping screw. The screws have lever type knobs that hit the camera or the two handles used to repostion the head. The spacer and removal of one of the handles make it just usable for my needs. I have since purchased a ball head tripod that is much handier.

Gives great stability for video. Head is fluid with soft, consistent movement both sideways and up-down. Yes it's heavy and a little on the bulky side. But that's the only way if you want a firm, sturdy tripod. The price is great for the quality. You'll have to triple your budget if you want something better.

There are a couple issues I've noticed with this tripod: 1. Some of the knobs can get blocked by the camera or other parts of the tripod head. You can pull the knob out to change its position, but it is a little annoying. 2. The head is a little tight, even at it's loosest setting - to the point that the legs will lift a bit if you try to pan too fast. But if you're careful, it gets buttery smooth pans and tilts so I'm not complaining too much.

I use this tripod both for studio work and outdoor photography using a 500mm telephoto lens. This is a very stable tripod and one you can count on not to move even in difficult situtations, however it is heavy so plan accordingly. The travel case is quite useful and exceptionally sturdy so this makes transporting the tripod that much easier. Also I found I needed to shorten the 1/4-20 screw in order to tighten down the lens and/or camera body. Rather than cutting it, I chose to simply buy shorter ones online and that fixed the problem.
