[10 lb (4.6 kg)] I have purchased a LOT of cases and bags from B&H over the years, from Lightware, Porta-Brace, Manfrotto, Ultimate support, Kessler Crane, etc. It seems that typically cases in the under $100 range are not very good quality, and really good bags are 2-3x more expensive. But in this case, I have to day that the Acebil S-50 case is really well-made with good padding and sturdy fabric. I am very pleasantly surprised. I am not actually using it for tripods or lighting - it happens to perfectly fit the Park Tool PCS 10.3 folding bicycle maintenance stand, so I can take it on road trips easily.

[6 steps] I use this tripod for news reporting. It's the first professionnal tripod that I have had the chance to use. I'm very happy with it's performance. The head is smooth and easy to use. I like that the legs are released with a simple lever, which means it's quick to deploy. If you're looking for a good tripod on a budget, you definitely want to consider this one.

[10 lb (4.6 kg)] Good and heavy duty. Smooth and quiet!

[3/8" Screw] I run a large rental house, and I have to say that these are probably the best and most cost effective tripod legs for a heavy duty 100mm tripod head. We got these legs originally to pair with our Sachtler V18 heads (with the idea of pairing more expensive Sachtler legs with the more expensive O'Connor 1030 heads and more expensive Sachtler V20 heads). To my surprise, everyone thought that these were the superior legs (over the $+ Sachtler legs). So now, the T2002CM's are by default paired with the O'Connor 1030 heads and Sachtler V20 heads. In short, the Acebil T2002CM legs are very high quality, have a heavy payload, are solidly built, and are somehow cheaper that more name brand legs that we found inferior. Highly, highly recommend.

[Slide Plate] Works well with our Sachtler V18 and Miller Arrow 50 tripods; very smooth and way better than picking it up to carry it everytime!

[Slide Plate] Exactly what I needed. Actually stronger build than what I had anticipated. Very professional appearance too. Breaks down for transport in seconds. Wheels are quality and lock easily. Overall an excellent addition to my A/V gear.

[10 lb (4.6 kg)] We ordered several of these tripod systems for use with a small venue and for electronic news gathering. They are perfect for use because they are strong, made out of appropriate materials for the task. These tripods are a great value.

[3-stage] The tilt is excelent and the pan too, very good product and I satisfied with it

[3-stage] Due to the failure of my E-Image legs I was in the market for a new base. This tripod has a mid-spreader which is nice. Coming from a floor spreader, I wasn't quite sure how I would like the mid-spread, but it works well. Solid construction, not quite at the higher end range of build quality, but definitely acceptable. It was shipped to me in about a week after ordering. I would buy again if I were looking in this price range, but the next tripod we buy will most likely be in the upper range. A good buy.

[1/4-20" Screw] Strong stable bowl tripod that fits into carry on. The spec is that the folded length is 19.5 inches. Fits perfectly. Had no vibration with 70-200mm lens with 2x extender, in windy conditions. I had the legs spread to 60 degrees, and had zero concern that the 30 mph wind gusts would tip it over. The bag that came with it is overkill. It is 3 feet long, and wasn't designed for this tripod. My use case is video of mountain wildlife. It handles it.
