Got this as it is lightweight and easy to carry also closed length with ball head fitted is 25 inches so compact mine is the 4 leg version and is very stable with 400mm lens and my 5d camera on it would definitely recommend it
This tripod is not of a professional quality, when fully locked there is still some movement in the centre column. As long as you don't expect too much, and don't push it too far, the tripod is still usable albeit a little frustrating.
