[4] First thing to say is that I would consider this tripod 3 stage instead of 2. There are single rails that slide out from the double rails, giving these sticks great height and range. Not to mention from a single lock---which is the best feature by far. Coming in at a close second is how light weight this is. Even with the Manfrotto MVH500AH Fluid Video Head, these sticks are still so easy to throw on my shoulder on a run-and-gun.

The quality seems good (only had it for a week or so). The plastic isn't brittle. It feels like any Manfrotto or Sachtler tripod I've used. I 100% recommend these sticks for your medium/lightweight camera.

[4] We're doing more run 'n gun work lately wanted to reduce the weight of the gear we have to haul by hand. We had some concerns about quality, but those were unfounded. Setup is a dream as it's fast.

[75 mm Bowl] Happy with the quick and easy setup. Easy to jump from location to location and alter the height with the single lock on each leg. The mid-level spreader also adjusts and alters the footprint. I paired this with the Manfrotto 504HD and am very happy with the whole package!

[4] Ordered these legs as a Manfrotto replacement and with the originals were as stout as these. Highly recommend.

[75 mm Bowl] I've read a lot review before buying this tripod and some of them were complaining about flimsy legs, and stuck rods. Well, maybe they had a bad batch, because this tripod is amazing. It's not really heavy, and it's sturdy and well made. For the price that's amazing. If you throw like 65 pounds or more on it and you get it to full height, then yeah, this is not the right tripod and the problems mentioned might appear.

[4] This set of legs works perfect with the Manfrotto 75mm ball head. I paired these two together to save some coin and still came out with a stellar tripod system. The locking mechanisms are smooth and durable. I love that I don't have to unlock 9 locks to operate the tripod, only 3. The legs are light and support a lot of weight which is ideal for both ENG or Indie filmmaking. The rubber feet stay in place and keep the spurs clean, Only con- wish it came with a bag!

[Carbon Fiber] This is a very nice tripod for the money. One knob locks all the legs at once when you extend them.This feature lets you set up and folm very quickly. Ive owned a lot of tripods, and this one is the best. I use this tripod for filming news events for the TV stations. The only downside, it doesn't come with a carry bag.

[4] That tripod is a great quality piece of equipment, I love it! Super well made and lightweight, perfect for location jobs with a Manfrotto head.

[4] 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.

[75 mm Bowl] Easy one hand adjustment of both leg sections simultaneously. Won't take heavy use, but for a lightweight occasional use tripod, the price is right.
