[Yes] Looked for a sturdy tripod and this is it. Bit bigger than I want but can't complain. I really enjoy the 3LT products and this one shines. Only concern is the bag zipper splits open from time to time. Will contact 3LT and see if this can be resolved.

[3] Solid travel tripod. Not as fancy and innovative as some of the other offerings that are getting a lot of online rave reviews but a traditional design well built tripod with an excellent ball head that’s worth every penny. Coming from a Ulanzi Coman travel tripod that failed after a year of use I appreciate the traditional tried and time tested design despite the extra few grams of weight.

[3/8"-16 Male] In my opinion, the best travel tripod. We have this model plus an older version that is similar. Both are good quality for the price and lightweight. All the clamps and ball head hold fine with D850s/Z7II with lens up to about 200 if using lens tripod mount so it is balanced. Tripod center column is not real stable with if column is raised, especially if windy, but usually good enough to get the job done if you take extra exposures. I carry it on my camera backpack when I am hiking or will be on my feet all day. I use a heavier but more stable tripod for serious photography, especially if windy or exposure times will be slower.

[3/8"-16 Male] I researched extensively for a tripod that would meet my travel needs. It needed to be light, tall, break into a monopod and have lever locks. Well, I failed on the last point, but few tripods have lever locks. So, I gave up and tried a number of them with twist locks. Still don't like them, but will have to settle. The 3 legged thing looks like a winner. I have only tried it in the house, but it works with my Wimberly Sidekick and long lenses attached to the the ball head without drift. It is also very attractive, if you care about appearance. So beautiful Billy and I are going to Costa Rica very soon where we will shoot birds and his name will be changed to Guillermo.

[Twist Lock] I was in the photography industry much earlier in my life.
I have been a big Gitzo fan for close to 30 years. The industry has obviously evolved over that time. I needed a true travel tripod. I originally looked at 5 section tripods with a a double center column from Three Legged Thing, Manfrotto & Gitzo. I opened them up and played around with them at B&H. They did not have the 3LT Leo 2.0. The sales person brought up the Punks Billy 2.0 instead. I was really impressed with the 3LT and the Gitzo. I realized I did not need compactness of the 5 section tripods. The 3LT Punks 2.0 was a small enough size. While being super light. I felt the 4 column / single center column was sturdier than the 5 section double center column offerings. I was really impressed by the fit, finish & quality of the Punks Billy 2.0! The Gitzo was excellent as well, but at significant difference in price. In the end it was hard to justify the cost difference. And I'm not sure if it is better. My old Gitzo's were made in France. Gitzo today are made in China like the 3LT and pretty much everything else. :)
I hope this review helps in your decision process.

[Removable] I love this tripod. It is light, very sturdy, and comfortable to use. Being able to use as a tripod or remove a leg to have a monopod is wonderful. The features and quality put it up there was the more expensive tripods but without the heft price tag. The ball head is great as well, zero creep, strong clamp, whats not to like. Great buy.

[8.72 lb] I had an older 3 Legged Thing monopod that was just a little too light for my purposes so I looked at the Lance 4 section.......much more stability with this model. I don't use a monopod often but when I do need one this is the one that works for me!!

[Twist Lock] My first tripod was a small Mefoto Backpacker S, which is great if you need something ultralight for use when sitting down. I needed heavier and ultimately bought a very large Robus RC-5570 for use with my Sigma 150-600 lens. However, that's not a system I use when I need to be more mobile, so I needed a good midsize. One light enough to carry easily, yet tall and strong enough I can use with my Canon 100-400 lens. This one works perfectly. It's tall enough I can use it without having to stoop too much, works great when sitting down, and easily holds my Canon 80D and 100-400 IS II and my smaller lenses. This has become my main go-to lens for most cases. While I can technically use my Sigma 150-600 and gimbal with this one, the large Robus is still better for that combination.

[Yes] Well made little tripod that's just as good as my Gitzos costing 4-5 times as much. I watched dozens of Youtube videos on tripods and decided on this one. It's very light and compact and will fit into my carry-on luggage when I travel. I didn't want to spend too much money on a tripod because I've had at leat 2 Gitzos stolen by baggage handlers/TSA agents so it won't be a great loss if it meets that fate again. I replaced the ball head with a Foba M1 I had lying around. I'm only going to use it with my Leica Q3 so it should work perfectly in concert with it.

[Removable] Needed a new tripod and found just what I wanted at B&H. This 3 Legged Thing is one of the few tripods that extend to my eye height. Also light and sturdy. A little more expensive but you get what you pay for. Thumbs Up
