I've been using a smaller compact zomei tripod , and a big heavy manfrotto, but this has proved to be the perfect compromise. I use a gimbal head and this tripod has enough weight to hold it and a long lens steady, its not as light as a similar sized carbon fibre tripod but at less than half the price and it's only about 1kg heavier. It's not particularly compact and if you're going to spend all day hiking it's possibly not the best, but I've had no problem spending a few hours with it attached to my rucksack. Also it comes with a very nice padded bag.

This tripod is absolutely worth every penny and more. Sturdy and well engineered along with well thought out by benro. The bag , sling , short column spikes and tool kit are a welcome touch as a wee bonus. Very happy buyer , i highly recommend..
