Just what you need if you carry a lot of equipment.
Would not use anything else. Once tried a different Slik tripod and had to take up weight lifting to move it about. I got rid and came back to this one which is lightweight and adaptable. Had to buy this as an emergancy replacement for my previous one which I allowed to fall over onto a concrete floor. This smashed the housing of the handle used to raise the central column. Just bad luck because if it had fallen on any other part, I'm sure it would have been alright. No hesitation in replacing like for like though. Simple and effective.
