[0.25 lb] The compact size of this as well as ease of changing it around make this a great choice for me while raveling or working.

[0.25 lb] I bought this to use with a Peak Design tripod with the Universal Head adapter, since I wanted to do pans, and the stock PD head doesn't have a panning capability. Panning axis has just the right amount of resistance, and the large knob locks the ball securely for my DSLR with a 200mm. I didn't miss/don't see the need for a separate friction control on a ball this size. Great compact travel head.

[9 x 9 x 0.75"] Smaller than expected for its weight capacity and the knobs are smooth when tension applied. I just wish they made a larger one.

[9 x 9 x 0.75"] Needed a taller tripod for the studio and on location work - great find - reasonably priced, sturdy, light weight.

[9 x 9 x 0.75"] Bought this as I couldn't stand the ball head that comes standard on the excellent Peak Design carbon fiber tripod. It doesn't add noticeable weight and it's only a few inches longer to pack this already very compact tripod. As an added bonus I don't need to raise the center column and more.

[9 x 9 x 0.75"] From first seeing this tripod reviewed I liked the name and the design, from the large rubber padded twist locks to the center star and accessory plate, all finely machined/cast and then there's the brash/punky/rocky and somewhat perverse humor of the Brand and it's creators, which I also liked.


There Winston 2.0 Sits with the wrong head for the bigger kit!


But, apart from all that 3 Legged Thing is a brand line of very fine and sturdy equipment. I like clean and elegant design that's also robust and can take normal and more extreme use. This tripod fulfills JUST that as compared to an arguably more elegantly designed and famous competitor at almost twice the price and with which I would certainly NOT even beat a rabid dog with. I own one of those and it's deliciously elegant and FLIMSY! It only supports 19 pounds, does not extend high enough for my liking, whereas Winston 2.0 supports a whopping 88 pounds (and that's the size of the rabid dog I beat with it this very morning!) and it is only slightly less compact that the Famous competitor and only 1 pound heavier!


ALL in ALL it's taken it's place along with my heavier workhorses in the studio and the field, from high mountain treks to desert sands and everywhere in between over the past 50 years.

[0.25 lb] I've been using this tripod on a regular basis for a bit over a year now, for the most part, I love it. It's quality built, stable yet versatile for what I need it to do, and is lightweight to haul around.

My one warning is to watch your fingers! It is riddled with pinch points. It has made me bleed. It has made others bleed. It has brought me (close) to tears in front of customers/clients.


But overall, I really like it.

[9 x 9 x 0.75"] This is just perfect for hikes. It's sturdy enough to hold your cameral with a super-telephoto. Yes, a HEAVY duty tripod would be more secure, but then again, it would be too heavy to lug around. The tripod collapses down to fit underneath your daybag/backpack. I highly recommend this tripod. It replaced my vanguard for daily trips and hikes.

[0.25 lb] Although small and light, this is a most effective clamp. I particularly like the feature where a QR plate can be dropped into the channel, and a 180 degree flip of the lever firmly holds the plate and everything I've attached to it.


My only tiny nit-pick is the included mini-toolz has 2.5mm and 4mm hex keys, so an extra 3mm hex key is also included to adjust the lever opening.

[0.25 lb] These wraps have changed how I pack by gear bags. No longer have to wrestle with Velcro dividers. Just wrap and store. More protection than some dividers. Work great on body's and other gear as well.
