Coming from a 34L RRS tripod, I got this one to be used for daily activities such as, portraiture, landscape and macro, even cityscapes. I use this with a Magpul MS1. This tripod is strong but most of all I don't feel it, the weight is really what I was missing from this, the strength is like all RRS tripods this handles the 5D line to the 400mm Canon lens in sure it can hold a 600mm as well. I'm using it with the bh30 not with the built-in Ball Head and I'm loving it. I'm sorry I wasn't traveling with this tripod at first. It will fit the new R bodies like a glove it's so small and clean. Nothing gets in the way. I must say the 34L I had was heavy compare to this one, I can walk with it and not feel a thing. I use the tripod leg sleeves to protect it from the cold and for handling it does make a difference, it may add some weight though but for bme I'm OK with that. The extension piece has a dropout lock so I cause your lock slips the rail along with your camera will not hit the floor. Something very cool that RRS added. Everything else you can break down and clean if you happen to go out at sea or in dirt, the tripod maintenance is very simple and easy it also holds all the removable feet like the claws and spikes. I have no regrets I got this, if your looking for a light tripod for the new small mirror less camera's this trpoid is what your looking for the size is just right. Not to big or small and it will fit in a carry on luggage with ease. I love walking with my tripod in its bag whwn traveling it's sweet but this is so much smaller than my 34L Mk1 in afraid I'm loose it but I'll not let that happen. I'm looking into getting me a fresh 34L mk 3 as I gave my precious 34L to someone special to me. RRS Tripods are my choice not because of hype but because of quality and also made in the USA.

I bought this tripod one year: Advantage: 1- Stable for Panorama. Long exposure and any kind of photography 2- Adjusting horizontally with bobble so fast and very accurate 3- Luck and unluck very stable with middle expansion 4- After leveling you can extend height as much as possible without any problem at all and keep level as you set for. 5- Middle stand designed and shape that pack very well fast with no problem at all 6- The most important is the warranty. I speak even with the factory technician to ask questions I had. I have 2 other tripods, I bought both for $ 750. after 2 years I have problems with luck and stability. I speak for warranty and send them e-mail no answer at all. Please pay more and sleep well for many years. attached please watch panorama and long exposure shots.
