This tripod delivers exactly what one would want and more at it's price point. I bought mine many years ago (91 or 92) for 89.00 with a pan tilt head. I still own this tripod in 2019 and use it daily. It works just as good now as it did the day I bought it.

A bit heavy, Gets Very Cold In Fall And Wniter Conditions
I've used this for landscapes, portraits, weddings, and night events and I like it so far. As this is my first tripod purchase, I am highly satisfied with it's capabilities. i.e.: Nice range of motion, sturdiness due to the heavier weight, ease of use.
Best tripod that i have ever used. Yes it is a little heavy but if you want your camera to be stable, you need it to be a little heavy. All around good tripod. It is very smooth and easy to use. I also like the hight that it can go as well.
Only recently acquired. Now that I have it I agree with the reviews posted online eg

on the weighty side compared to CF equivalents, no foot spikes, no hook for a weight
This tripod is used in my portrait gallery and is mounted on a dolly. I was very pleased with the fine quality of this product resulting in good stability and reliable support.
I wanted to purchase a standard tripod that had a good weight capacity for holding my XTi and 17-70mm lens plus a vertical grip. The SLIK 300DX arrived and I was very pleased with the size and build quality of the product.
I bought this product for it's build quality and turn to tighten leg screws. I had to many flip style tabs bust on me. 5 years and it hasn't let me down yet. Quick release head is a little loose right now but minor.
Strength: The Pentax service in Italy is good. I have never had my LX bodies serviced but I''ve been told that a repair or a simple CLA can be very expensive. Folsom Bounce House Rental Weakness: None , ,
I bought this tripod primarily for astrophotography, but will also be using it to shoot a wedding soon too. For wedding photography I probably wouldn't recommend this tripod, as it is quite heavy to be carrying around all day and the turn screws on the legs don't make for quick adjustment.

Good Footing, Locks In Tight, Smooth Movement
I was shocked at how strong this tripod is for the price. Actually a little heavy but that makes it secure and safe when leaving the camera on board. Hold my canon 7d and 400mm lens just fine.
