[3-stage] 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.

[6 steps] Great to prop the camera up to shoot games Easy to set up and scans very smoothly like it but it was expensive

[10 lb (4.6 kg)] The tilt is excelent and the pan too, very good product and I satisfied with it

[10 lb (4.6 kg)] Works well with our Sachtler V18 and Miller Arrow 50 tripods; very smooth and way better than picking it up to carry it everytime!

[6 steps] An excellent tripod, sturdy, strong and durable that is also easy to transport. I'd recommend this for anyone.

[Slide Plate] I use to have the Sachtler eng cf hd sticks that these directly compete with. These are legit.

Only con, which isn't actually a con to me, is the mid spreader does not have 3 level settings like Sachtler. This doesn't bother me, as I never liked to use that on the Sachtler.

Acebil customer service is top notch.

[22 lb (10 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.

[+50 / -50 mm] I use this tripod for about 5 to 8 hrs a day, in most case for 7 days per week. I love it . I have spent over $ 2000.00 on tripods , before, and I can honestly compare this tripod with other tripods that costed me 5x more than this one . I love the features on this tripod, the quality, the material the tripod is made off, and best of all the weight of the tripod. is very easy to carry around with me, and fast and easy to set it up. Shipping was awesome , fast... I recommend this tripod to a professional veteran, or if you are just starting . This is the Tripod for you .

[3/8" Screw] 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.

[Slide Plate] These wheels are built like a tank. I feel confident loading up my tripod with a heavier camera setup along with accessories attached. I've purchased and used many cheaper and lighter wheels for tripods, I should've got this one a long time ago. It seems like it's built to last.
