This tripod is an excellent option for those who travel often with their gear. It easily fit into my checked bag (with removing the head though) and adds very little weight. I paired it with the 502 head and still had plenty of space and weight left to add all the clothes and personal gear I needed...

This is a premium quality lightweight tripod. The carbon fiber makes the legs stiff, strong and lightweight. They adjust in height quickly, easily and securely. However, my favorite feature in this tripod is the center column. It has the rare dual feature of being able to adjust height and level.

When this item came in, I knew I made the right choice. This is by far the best Tripod and Ball Head that I've ever owned. I am using this at events and in studio. Well worth the money.

Spent the money on the lighter carbon fiber legs and combined with the 701HDV tripod head (bought separately), this is a very light, stable, and functional tripod for international travel. I log about 100,000 miles a year traveling with gear, and couldn't be happier with this.

tripod and head work very well. No issues other than remembering what each knob does. Sad it was so expensive but product does perform and is great to work with.

I use this tripod for wedding video. Its very stable and easy to asssamble. Specially the head is very smooth in movement and gives a very nice stable video. Very light and still very reliable.Zak.

Light and perfect for photography and film. The Rapid Center half ball is just perfect to find the tha ball right on time.

It's a pretty great deal. The movement on the head takes some getting used to, but I think the functionality is grea.

Great set of sturdy light weight legs. High quality and quick to set up, highly reccomended!
